Part 7/11:
Nicola expresses her desire to keep her dating life simple, avoiding the "complications" of blending families or managing past relationships' remnants. She describes her ideal situation as one where she can enjoy casual relationships without the pressure of future commitments or exes constantly in the picture.
Far From Eden underscores that motherhood is "not something you get a break from," and that expecting a partner to navigate a child's needs and her own emotional landscape requires honesty and maturity. She questions whether Nicola's approach is fair to herself and potential partners, given her guardedness and tendency to keep her true circumstances hidden.
