I believe marriage involves two people if one person no longer needs nor feels that the relationship is successful for them why should the other be considered unsuccessful if they free themselves to continue their idea of a successful relationship with another?
We're all moving toward a future of our ideal of success. Right now Jack is happy and successful in his lifestyle. What his life demonstrates is success is achievable regardless of the past and it isn't always about keeping a status quo. It might mean letting go of what is not working.
