    That’s my take on it, they’re lesbians and the driver realizes they’re more into men

      No. The driver is still into women, but is realising that they prefer to present as mostly male, despite whatever their biology might be.

      In oversimplified terms, you could say they’re a straight man in a biologically female body.

      The implication is that when they were dating and married, driver was presenting as more female or androgynous, and non-driver, presumably, has a preference for that.

      However, it’s not really that preference that’s causing the real rift - if you love someone, you love someone - it’s the desire for kids. Driver doesn’t want them. Non-driver does.

      They’re both able to deal with this like adults. Win-win-win. (Third win is the eventual kid(s) who might get to have a cool uncle rather than a grumpy, distant dad. Assuming “uncle” and “dad” are terms driver would use anyway.)

        It actually says they want to date all genders, so pansexual/omnisexual rather than straight.
