I can respect both sides to be honest. I prefer to let things happen IC and suffer the consequences, both good and bad, but I've had friends who were having a really hard time in RL before and the last thing they wanted was RP to also blow up in their face. One in particular was going through a divorce when they were dumped IC too, ouch.
Long story short, so long as it's not hurting anyone, I won't give someone a hard time about how they RP their romances.
