“Nobody's lives just fit together. Fitting together is something you work at. It's something you make happen - because you love each other.”




Her grand gesture didn't impress me as I don't think it solved anything in the end. Her epiphanies will amount to nothing if she doesn't confront her husband about his unhappiness. After all, it was 1998 Neal she was talking to throughout that week, not the current version of him. This Neal still doesn't know what's going in her head. Seth is still a very real and serious problem between them and she still hasn't made a decision in regards to that. They have been each other's crutches for almost twenty years but it has to stop. She needs to draw some boundaries or they will be in the same spot as the week before.

I guess I just wanted to see her and present Neal really open up to each other and talk about how they were actively going to work on improving their marriage. Just her showing up there couldn't possibly be enough for him. Neither "I'll do better".
