Is he a perfect man? No. But he loved and protected Ellen from the very beginning. He knew she was special, and he supported her the whole way.

You can say he should have told Ellen about Pam's choice way back when. But I thought it was clear that Pam didn't want him to tell her. Pam ALSO wanted her to be amazing and have her career and be president.

There were always three people in that relationship. It played out with as much love and respect as possible, given the times.
