Fixed that for you; it's not necessary to forget, just to accept.

One of my favorite quotes is "Forgiveness means letting go of the hope for a better past".
thErgonomic:
A-and... Stage seven.
shanejayell:
Awww. Yeah, good scene...
Coleman:
While it is an awesome scene I couldn't help but think that Forever may not mean the same thing to each of them. I don't recall but has it ever been discussed how long AI live? Have AI been around long enough to have to deal with differences between human and AI lifespans or are AI still new enough that this hasn't come up yet?
This was bothering me enough I came here to register and ask :laugh:
Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, new person with an important question!
There was a very early strip where Marten told Pintsize he was probably effectively immortal. Since then Jeph's characterization of synthetics has changed so much that it's not necessarily canon.
Since transferring into new bodies is a well-documented possibility for AIs they should be able to live as long as their software operates correctly. We don't know whether there are hidden flaws in their consciousness that will show up decades down the road.
At a guess the marriage will last as long as Faye's life.
EDIT:
It's been mentioned that AIs are vulnerable to accidents and violence. Bubbles doubtless has a reinforced core though.
