Writing challenge thirteen

As indicated earlier I was not enamoured with Kerry's husband Philip, despite his erudition. I felt Kerry had given him too much leeway. Marriage was supposed to be an equal partnership. For her to permit his work placement sponsored by the Chinese university when she was so heavily pregnant seemed like madness to me. Surely Kerry, not his career prospects should be at the forefront of his priorities. With a shrug I came to the conclusion that my own bad experience of marriage had made me less broad minded than in my younger days.Though I had to admit that Kerry's husband did not resemble Frank in any way.Unable to get a reply I left a message for Philip to phone the hospital urgently. He had promised Kerry to take leave to come home for a month when the baby was born, and had an agreement in his contract to do so. I held Kerry's hand and tried to distract her between contractions with chat about her cravings for health food in her early pregnancy and how Philip had teased her that her tiredness was psychosomatic as her diet was so super healthy.
