Similar to that situation where couples have a baby with the strange idea that the experience and outcome will improve their relationship! This woman agreed to emigrate to Australia from Scotland, only to find that nothing much about the relationship improved and that her circumstances – minus family, friends and familiar surrounds had in fact worsened.
I have her just sitting – coming to terms with how daft and naïve she was!

Silly Bitch – Lyrics
So there she sits – silly bitch – what was she thinking of?
She sits and she fits reality to the dream
It seems the new life is just the old life in a different place
While he’s still living on the edge and she’s still living on the verge of tearsSo there she sits – silly bitch – what did she do for love?
She sits with her wits unravelling at the seams
Because the new life is just the old life in a different place
For he’s still living on the edge and she’s still living on the verge of tearsAnd it’s a long time waiting for a man to grow
And she can’t believe she hoped a change of hemisphere would show
That they would bind together to face the new life years
But he’s still living on the edge and she’s still living on the verge of tearsAnd there she sits – silly bitch – what is she thinking of?
She sits amid bits of thought swirling downstream
Oh yes, the new life is just the old life in a different place
For he’s still living on the edge and she’s still living on the verge of tearsHe’s still living on the edge and she’s still living on the verge of tears
And there she sits
