They said: Oh my god, that is a total wedding photo.
He and she said: Whatever. {But she secretly agreed}
—————
He said: Kel, you love your sport more than you love me.
She said: That’s ridiculous.
He said: No really, your life is all about triathlon and there’s no room for me.
She said: No, it’s just that you’re really high maintenance.
He said: I think we should take a break.
She said: I think that’s a good idea.
—————
She said: I’ve done a lot of thinking and you’re right, my life was all about triathlon. I want to have another shot at us.

She said: I am running the business just fine thanks.
—————
He said: Kel, it’s been a year and nothing has changed. You’re still so stressed out.
She said: You don’t know anything – I’ve changed lots of things. Of course it’s stressful being a mum and a wife and running a business. That’s life.
—————
She said: I hate the business. I want to sell the business. I want to sell everything we own and go live in a shack in the bush.
He said: Why don’t you try running the business like a business first?
She said: I’ve tried. I’ve tried everything and nothing works. It’s never going to get easier. It’s never going to get better.
He said: You haven’t tried everything because you haven’t done any of the stuff I told you to do.
She said: Ok. I will keep trying.

She said: I hate the business. I want to sell the business. I want to sell everything we own and go live in a shack in the bush.

She said: You can’t run my business
—————
She said: Go ahead. Run the business. I just don’t care any more.

He said: What did the doctor say?
She said: He can’t see any reason for all the miscarriages. It could be stress. But more than likely it’s just really bad luck.
He said: 🙁
—————
She said: So it looks like you’re doing a really good job of running the business. I’ll just continue to stay at home shall I?
He said: Yes. Good idea.

She said: I’m ready to try again for baby number two. One last shot.
He said: Woo hoo, I’ll make it a good one.

He said: Do you believe it now?
She said: No. I’ll believe it when she’s in my arms
—————
She said: I can’t believe we’ve been married for 7 years. Thank you for staying with me through all the shit.
He said: Where would I have gone?
—————
She said: Oh my god, she is perfect.
He said: What’s her name?
She said: Mia Marie. Miss Mia Marie Exeter.
He said: Do you believe it now?
She said: Yes. Oh yes.
