Yes, I think you're right. He certainly didn't have the air of someone who was turning up to sample the goods with a view to considering making a future purchase! He was too broken and done in for that. It is my stuff. And the changes I've made to my parenting - both in the new boundaries with the kids, and with having more fun at the weekends, getting outside more together and less time on screens - more structure and positivity - all of that I want to do for myself and the children. They were my personal 180s and what I wanted to spend my energy on rather than working on my marriage.
