As to your comment, this is a bit different because Elizabeth never made any bargains with Will about the ferryman issue as Calypso did. "Give up your life, ferry the dead, and in exchange I'll meet you in ten years. Oops. I was busy. Sorry." In Will's case it was a split second decision in which Jack was more instrumental. So even if Elizabeth did blow him off, which I don't think she would, there wouldn't be such a reason to feel betrayed. Really, if anyone is honor-bound to meet him every 10 years it's Jack, the one who stuck his hand into the heart. And Jack ain't chopped liver, so...
I think Davy provides a cautionary tale about putting all of your eggs in the love basket. You have to be enough unto yourself. I think Will is, so he won't end up like Jones, no matter what happens with Elizabeth. Also, he's got his dad with him, and his father issues seemed to drive him more in the second two films than his romantic issues did.
