Hmm ... I guess if she's happy with him. At least he wasn't a dead bore like her father and his brother. Personally, I don't think most of the women I know would be comfortable with him. I don't care how much he hated her father, you don't make zombie jokes about him to his daughter a month after he passed. And, yes, the ML WAS using her. Of course, so were all the other men in her life (except possibly Sam). Actually, the only person I really liked in the story was the ML's sister.
