There definitely seems to be an issue with understanding the good people making mistakes thing, and that's exactly how I see Ginny in this - she's not doing it on purpose, she's excited about the possibilities that are now open to her and she ends up acting a little selfishly as a result. I'm glad it seems realistic to you. I hope that because the fic will likely end up as Drarry the readers are likely to be more accepting of a less than perfect Ginny - it would not go down well in the Hinny fandom though!

That's such an interesting thought, and I hadn't really thought as far as resolving the tension between them, but I love the idea that he realises that she's a person with wants and aims beside just being mum (especially if you consider that canon has Ginny having kids relatively young, I can see her relishing a bit of freedom post divorce). I do think he has reason to be annoyed, but only to a certain extent, and I'd love to write him gradually realising Ginny's perspective.

I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on the expectations of mothers, both in general because it's interesting but also for the fic - I'm still in the early stages so really open to ideas and discussion on where to take it.
