I could be wrong about the details), the only way that maybe he will listen is if you are a patreon and that's a maybe
Laura becoming obsessive after realizing she going to lose harry is true to life. A guy on one of those ask reddit videos figured out his wife was cheating start being distant and less affectionate with her. While preparing to divorce her. Lady immediately wanted to brake it off with the guy because she thinks her hubby was cheating on her.
