I mean, that hit me like... Because I've stepped back to mind the kids.

I left work five days a week.

So, I mean, this part of the book, I was like to Louis...

listen to this, I'm going to read this out to you now.

He's like rolling his eyes going, you're far from boring, but you know, whether you work or not, you are far from boring.

That was nice of him.

It was really sound for him to say.

Coming up on 11 years married, it was really nice to hear from him.

Well, mine was very different because, you know, she was so shocked.

And I think that part of her story is unusual.

Now, it turns out there are lots of people that that's happened to as well.

And I think that happens to people in long-term relationships who don't get married.

I think sometimes it can just, it can just bluntly end and you don't get a reason.

Whereas I...

mine was ending over time.

Like mine didn't end like hers on one particular day.

I can't tell you when mine ended because it was like a rope kind of just fraying.

And then it just eventually split.

So yeah, mine wasn't a shock like that.

But it's still, there's still a grief attached to it.
