Most of my point was that I wasn't surprised that Amy and Rory were having relationship trouble. It's great for me, because it'll give me so much to explore--but I'm generally disappointed by the way that Moffat handles relationships and female characters. Because I agree, he gives every woman this wife-and-mother ending and that's not what every woman wants. I just can't really picture River Song wanting kids.
The Doctor's reaction to relationship trouble is to have an adventure, but that doesn't work. And I don't exactly think he's qualified to give ANYONE relationship advice considering how he dealt with his own past relationships. In 'All Roads Lead Home' it will definitely be Rose talking to Amy and Rory, because the Doctor is a little too alien to get human relationships. Add in that he's a coward when it comes to those closest to him and you've got one more reason for him to stay away. I could get that he feels guilty, because their daughter is gone because of him, but that's about it.
