But we learn something about why she had been tight lipped, and is still a little reluctant to talk about her and Sam. She says that her past relationships failed about a month or so after she talked about them. This is an interesting insight.

However, I doubt if she needs to worry about this happening with Sam. I have not witnessed her past relationships first hand, but if I were to guess from up here in the cheap seats, I would say that a big part of the reason why her past relationships failed is that they tended to be sex first, miserably failed attempt at friendship second. With Samantha, this seems to be the opposite, being friends first and then getting together after years of friendship.

Which is not to say that there aren’t thing that could go wrong. Hopefully they won’t, of course. I just want to point out that the big factor in her failed relationships is not here. So there is a greater chance of long-term success.
