I said, well, I don't remember.
So rather than leaving it like that, I just went on and on and on at him.
And he said, let's move away from the restaurant because you're making a bit of a scene here.
And there was a staircase going up to the bedroom and I was still on the staircase shouting up at him.
And my children were in front of me.
Like it was just the weirdest thing.
I'm not really a shouty person, but I just remember it so vividly.
And it was like I had this demon in my head saying, it's fine.
You carry on shouting because he's awful and you don't need him and you're fine.
And
You know, and if he had said to me, right, Louisa, I'm leaving you, I would have gone, good, just go, because I really had enough.
Like, it's just ridiculous.
And even my children, one of them says she was so scared because she'd never heard me shout at her before and was saying, oh, I'm thinking to herself, oh, gosh, I think when my daddy's going to divorce and what am I going to do?
Because I don't want to stay with her because she's being really horrible, but daddy can't cook and he's like, what should I do?
And they're really young and it...
But it does make me realize the impact of that is really hard for both sexes, really, in different ways.
Yeah, and I think, you know, it's really difficult for people
And, you know, partners of any gender, because I have quite a lot of patients who are in the same sex relationships.
And, you know, both of them are perimenopausal.
That would be insane.
