00:01:00
you and Leslie always sleep in separate bedrooms uh I occasionally slept in uh separate bedrooms due to my night call
00:01:07
doing eletrical delivery but you were sleeping separately okay what was the reason for that uh we had uh thought
00:01:15
about a trial separation okay and when you say separation I I assume you mean more than just separate in the house you
00:01:23
mean that you were going to thinking about getting divorced perhaps that was not the thought process we were talking
00:01:29
about and we never did but we were talking about a trial separation that's the only thing we discussed I'd either
