I personally don’t feel sorry for him at all lol. He’s the boring one who won’t leave the UK. Travelling is obviously something Lucille values highly in her life- he needs to get on board or deal with the fact she will go without him.She’s so tight with money besides food (prior to the travelling) so it wouldn’t surprise me if she has a lot saved up as she managed financially without a job for however long also. I do feel sorry for Michael though, he must be really bored when she’s off travelling.
Saying that, I bet he secretly enjoys the time alone!
