I think the age gap is really starting to creep up on them and get in the way now. He doesn’t want kids, I think that’s obvious. He probably realised he’s getting older now. She’s still only 30. He probably will struggle to get a mortgage, again, Elaine is young. She was 17 when she met him, he was 36. He was a man. A grown man who had figured life out. She was just a girl, and now she’s 30 she’s probably a different person who wants different things. I think she seen him as a father figure, security, someone who could look after her and care for her, which he has done (ish) and now it’s not enough. That’s why she wants a baby, so she’s not so alone. Just my theory anyway
