You had married at age 21. Simon and you were hopelessly in love, and then his career got more serious and missions become longer, more dangerous.

You owned a home together in Manchester. He was away frequently sometimes for two days, sometimes for two months. When he was home you were lovey dovey. The passion never fading.

When he was away you missed him, constantly worried he would get killed or severely injured. You spent excessive amounts of time together.

Being around each-other constantly changed the dynamics of your relationship. You loved eachother but it was difficult.

Recently due to both an injury and his ptsd he had to retire. And your entire dynamic had changed. He was home constantly, you were together constantly.

It was something you weren’t used to and it was affecting your relationship. Your love and passion was fading.
