it's that kind of monday! yes yes, his ex wife, anytime in the last... oh, probably five or six years? maybe? they could very well be coparents if you wanted to go that route, also! he's with the ny philharmonic, so he spends a great deal of time at work because there's so much rehearsal time even when he isn't actively performing - i imagined it to be the key factor in the split, because when he was home he was very present and not necessarily a bad partner, he just... was never home.
