Spur of the moment or not, Summer disappearing caused Taiyang to have a meltdown big enough that Yang pointed out he changed DRASTICALY. Now, assuming him and Summer weren’t that close, their relationship would be strained at worst and tolerating at best, but going from either to depressed is not DRASTIC. Going from lively with joy to depressingly still IS, which as far as I can tell is what Yang was implying.

You can sort of make the case that he might have been hung up on his old spouse, but I can also point out it’s been about…10 years since she left, and I’d rather have faith that the dude found it in himself to move on unlike a bad anime protagonist and start caring more about what’s in front of his eyes.

I never said that Summer and Taiyang weren't close.She helped take care of his kid of course they were close.I never said that Taiyang and Summer weren't happy together. All I'm simply pointing out is that they probably weren't that the point of marriage yet.

Moving on is a process and marriage is a big step.Its understandable that he would be a little slower in taking that step.Hell he may have have been planning to propose the day Summer left.
