One thing that was mentioned was that Eloise went off the pill to have a baby, did she and Phil discuss this? Did she do this deliberately thinking that it might’ve brought them closer? We know that Phil didn’t want children as he said that he had a vasectomy after Roger was born, him saying that makes me think that Eloise trapped him in the marriage, and if she did so she can only blame herself for the situation, unfortunately she is dead so there's no way of knowing if this is what she did.
Society puts so much pressure on people to have a family that people are made to feel incomplete if they haven’t produced children 🧒
@Summerabbacat would remember a certain nasty male politician who called Australia’s first female Prime Minister Julia Gillard barren because she didn’t have children, not that it’s any of his business as to why Julia and her fiancé didn’t have children, maybe they didn’t want children or couldn’t have them but he didn’t think of that because he was so narrow minded and bigoted because the Prime Minister was a woman, I doubt he would have treated any male Prime Minister like that.
