I'm trying to determine if she's relieved that he's not tired of her (even though it's very clear he is), or if she's trying to hide her disappointment.
I'm leaning towards the former. I think honestly she's just wanted an explanation, but was afraid of asking for one until now.
His thoughts imply that he's tired of her, while his mouth says he does love her. I don't even see familial love.
Just because it's convenient for him, he wants to stay that way instead of setting her free. ;-; Like, a free maid/roomie or something.
