Not sure if he had accepted and come to grips with the obligations of daddyhood (esp the financial support of the mom.. unclear as to whether they were married) So many young men regard the responsibilities of marriage and parenthood as burdens for which they lack preparation (as a recent Christianity Today online article made clear) Night Train, not sure how many folks aside from industry insiders saw Brokeback.
