I guess I had accepted my fate and simply gave up.

AlpheccaStars I did not say that the sentence was incorrect, only the comma.

Yes. Now it is clear.

AlpheccaStarsThe original sentence did not have "then." ... The speaker does not consider the two events to be simultaneous.

Yes, I would have done better to have described the events as either simultaneous or not. Instead I tried to indicate that by putting into the sentences 'then' and 'also' in blue as my comments.

AlpheccaStarsThere was at least a moment in contemplation between them, and that time period is significant.

Well said!

But why is it so that that comma can't go after guess? I wanted to show a pause in how I thought after all! And didn't it separate two clauses there?
