Review: Could have been better- the main male character did not have my sympathy

There is another 2 star review that was posted after I downloaded/read this title that says much of what I want to say.  Spoilers kind of follow- after the misunderstanding between the main couple occurs he eventually ends up having an eleven year relationship with a woman that is only physical (it doesn't go into details of what is happening in the bedroom, only that it is frequent and very stimulating).  Even though he is annoyed by this woman's opinion of his life's work he still sleeps with her and only stops when he sees the girl he loved long ago.  By that time I didn't really like him that much and then the end wraps up way to quickly, he is sleeping with one woman and then in a few weeks time he is telling another that he still loves her.  At the beginning of the book he had wanted sex to be a special thing so I don't see how these different attitudes jive.  If there had been more development between the main characters before he expressed his renewed love maybe I could have got over it but just because he slept with one woman continually over eleven years does not make him virtuous. I thought the description of the main girl's feelings and interactions of people following her rape were compelling and heart wrenching.
