Sometimes romances don't work out. Few things in life work out as we think they ought to. That doesn't necessarily indicate amorality on BC's part.
All the evidence we get to see in 1795 tells us that BC is a highly conscientious man with a strong moral sense, in the best sense. An affair out of wedlock can happen and isn't necessarily "wrong". Going after everybody and everything around one, to make sure she gets the mate she thinks she deserves, as Angelique did, is. Certainly the overwhelming impression I get is that BC is a highly admirable, decent human being. It's to the writers' credit that they understood that in the real world, amongst good people, illicit affairs do take place.
