By Polly Dunbar PUBLISHED: 19:40 EST, 17 March 2013 | UPDATED: 20:18 EST, 17 March 2013 Andy and Samantha Puleston pictured at their home in Devon Samantha Puleston always felt her husband Andy lived in his own world. Even during the most emotionally charged moments of their relationship, he could appear oddly detached and preoccupied with irrelevant practical details. 'Our daughter Sophie is 18 weeks old, and I had an extremely difficult labour which resulted in an emergency Caesarean,' says Samantha, 41. 'I was terrified, but Andy seemed unaffected by the danger. He was calm and even cracking jokes, which made me angry. But I know he wasn't being like that on purpose - it's simply how he is.'
