The Amnesia Dilemma

Just like the Chocolate Dilemma earlier, another question has been bothering me lately. Consider this scenario:

Jack and Rose are a happily married couple. They are truly, madly, deeply in love. Adam,  Rose’s college friend, has a thing for her but Rose is simply in love with Jack. Rose loses her memory in a freaky accident. The new Rose, though still Jack’s wife, has no feelings for Jack. In fact, she now loves Adam.

My question is – what’s the right thing? By right, I mean not only for Rose, but for, let’s say, the universe. Should Rose continue to be with Jack, or should she start a new life with Adam?
