De Conjugio (Chadwick) n. 52

52. Those who are unable to wait for their married partner, whether male or female, consort meanwhile with another similar to themselves. But then he is granted to perceive that it is the same married partner whom he had in the world; but this relationship is dissolved, since there had not been a betrothal or wedding, when the true married partner arrives. For then from cohabitation in die world he has no difficulty in recognising his partner and he who wishes remains with his own partner, as was said before.
