I've always felt that *this* is the part of the Doctor that only Rose is able to tap into and therefore expose to the viewer. I love the fact that she does not hero-worship him (OK, neither does Donna, which may well be why I like her so much too).
I'm seeing this story unfolding in the same way you are and I believe that RTD has dropped enough hints over 4 series to suggest that, as you say, the Doctor *would* like a normal life and settle down with the right person(*coughs*Rose*coughs). However, that of course would create a problem in terms of continuation of the series. That said, I'm sure RTD is clever enough to formulate some sort of resolution that could solve both problems... Here's hoping and eagerly awaiting the Finale!
