I think the 'Dangerous Liasions' game they played beforehand left behind a lot of human wreckage. They embarassed themselves, their families, their country. I think they have probably lived long enough to regret their past, but I doubt if that regret is extended beyond how it impacted them personally. It's great that they still love each other, but I don't view it as romantic. They were not star crossed lovers- they were too weak to challenge the system (back when she wouldn't marry him because she wasn't a virgin and didn't want to deal with the publicity), and too weak to behave honorably.
