I'm not going to amend what I said, but after thinking about it some more, I have to say that in matters of "the dark times" you can only say so much about it on your own. No body can really say what will happen if they have someone to go through it with together. People can say how they feel on their own, but it's different when you are working together with someone. If you really want something, you will share the burden and take as much as you can bear. And if you really care for someone you will work your hardest to defeat "the dark times."
