Using the same logic, pointing fingers and speculating. it could well be that Barnaby's wife is responsible for the end of their marriage, it is possible that she treated him badly and caused him a lot of suffering. we knew now that Barnaby has another woman in his life because he is public figure, but what do we know about her? . was there something similar? maybe not, but then again it could also be the case.
The truth here Merrin is that you could sit all day and speculate, but really no one knows exactly what happened behind closed doors in situations like this. To assume that his wife was a pure angel, did nothing wrong and that Barnaby is the devil who ran away from his wife for no reason at all is just an assumption of yours, but I am not buying this theory.
Women need to take responsibility of their actions too sometimes. you know !!
