She had a difficult marriage. Her husband was much older and had traumas from the Second World War. He was often tense from the past and his work. She was supportive, helping him. He also had other relationships during the marriage from time to time. He did not want to divorce but in the end they did. It was a relief for her because the hectic feeling was gone.
She is very romantic but has suppressed that at her age. She can weep from hearing romantic music like the Sound of Music or the national hymn. She is timid, for instance when giving a dinner party, doubting if her cooking is good enough.
