Well, I might know that game's over and it might take me a while to say it, but I think it's really sad because that is basically when the trials and tribulations have just become too repetitive. They've gone round and round and round in so many circles. They've started so many times. They've tried so many times.

They've gone round and round and round in so many circles. They've started so many times. They've tried so many times.

And between them, over the course of their relationship, the red flags, they've just missed them. It's like sliding doors. They've just missed each other. When one person is sort of really hurting and needs to talk, the other person is maybe too busy. And they have missed each other just one too many times. And that shows itself.

I mean, I did have a client just recently who said, when is enough enough? And it was so sad. But I had to say I think enough is enough. I mean, together, I think you've tried everything. And there's too much happened now. You've lost the ability to connect in the way that you might need to connect for your couple to carry on. And that was really difficult to say.

But actually, they both knew it anyway. They were both really suffering, and they had given it the best go. So they were both brilliant people, but it was too late. And that's sad, and it does happen.

Many. Thank you. Many. No, loads of people. Loads of people. So it's really interesting how a couple does come back. So a couple of ideas here. An affair can actually break a couple or not.

If we think about affairs being a symptom of a relationship that's already cracked, if we bring it down to that, the affairs already, there were cracks, otherwise it probably wouldn't have happened to that degree. So they come in with that work and then actually we look at it through a neurodivergent lens and that gives it a slightly different frame and a slightly different way of working with it.

And then I'm not condoning affairs in any way, but I think as long as you've got all the information and especially the neurodivergent information, then that mix can really work and people can restart. They can rethink, okay, and they know why it happened and they can make it better. And another lovely, lovely story was a couple had been living together for a while

long while and they had been living separately they had children but they'd been living separately and I think they came in as a sort of a last ditch effort and they had autistic children and one of them said yes I probably am probably ADHD and did the session absolutely wonderful people wonderful people did the session and I said well have you considered that there might be other

neurodiversity presence in the couple. Like not all lame on one side here. And it was almost like a light bulb. And they said, Oh, oh, okay. So gave them some resources. Off they went. They came back in two weeks and their couple had completely recalibrated. Of course we did loads of work to get them back together again, but it was a light bulb moment.

And actually it changed the whole couple dynamic. The fact that they now knew that it wasn't just one, it was both, and actually they had these challenges. There you go. They went off, they did the work, and they hopefully live happily ever after.
