I get that impression, you don’t split over having a kid ten years into a relationship after just buying a house together, it’s not a conversation you just had this week after seeing an episode of corrie with a cute baby, it’s always been pretty obvious they hadn’t planned having kids but they’re so scared to offend anyone they would rather with on the fence and not straight up answer it when people ask, they were planning a dog, it’s not like plans weren’t being made for a future together, Tokyo was being planned for 2022 and world in October, no window for a baby if one decided at 30 they now were broody, and money wise, I don’t think Ian is struggling in that department and I don’t think it’s something they’d now spilt over when they’ve just moved into a purchased property together.
he seems happy, regardless of the topic they were talking about he has a different vibe to her.
hes in love in my opinion and it’s why he’s so open to still being involved in ares of the channel to help her out, because he’s not upset by the marriage ending.
he’s protective of her and the reaction (IMO) because he has guilt, it’s been his decision to walk away not hers.
