I agree. I loved it, it was so genuine and heartbreaking...
Hi, I have a totally different perspective from yours.
I have a feeling Ray was never in love with Una, he said that to not trouble himself and because she was very angry. He states so himself that at that time he was having a rough time, implying he didn't actually love her but was in a vulnerable state back then. Also, 3 months is a very short time to say 'love', he was infatuated with her (or, her youth and naivety), but i don't think he ever truly loved her.
I think his step-daughter being shown wasn't for no reason, I think it insinuates he married the woman because she had a young daughter, implying he's indeed a pedophile predator... but it is left ambiguous (for the viewer to decide). I think Ray was indeed a pedophile and all the excuses he tells Una are all bs, that predators usually use to lure their victims.
I think he only was after her youth and body, all the scenes of them in the past had to do with sexual matters (never shown connecting in another way/having a meaningful conversation) so I don't think he liked her in a deeper level. He's just a liar and pedophile.
Anyhow, I think it's up to the viewer to pick what lenses they want to see it with, take it at face value or look into it deeply.
