Gibson characterized Hotchner as having "moments of levity", but continued: "Unfortunately, he has a very, very, probably-dusty-it's-so-dry sense of humor. I'm not sure he's reconciled what's gotta give. It'll be very interesting to see how it all shakes out, because I think his realistic appraisal of all the balls he thought he was capable of keeping in the air at the same time - something's gotta give. To be able to pull both of those things off, I think that his ambitions have to come face to face with a certain reality that's in contradiction with what he thought was possible. But it's really, really hard doing what they do - being on call and dedicated to the job.
I think he's sincere when he says he wants to be there for his family. He knows his job is costing him in time spent with his wife and son. He knows his family is getting the short shift. Haley wanted the marriage to work out." Discussing the conflict between Hotchner's career and home life, Gibson explained: and I think it's going to be very interesting to see how they work it out because I know it's certainly taking its toll. You think about in real life the marriages that survive. And the first casualty may not be the agents themselves, but their families, spouses and children." Prior to Hotchner and Haley's separation, in a 2007 interview Gibson stated that he hoped the two would make their relationship last, explaining: "Marriage can certainly survive lots of hardships. Discussing the effect working in the BAU has on the agents' personal lives, Gibson opined: "I think it can't help but take some toll. I enjoy both and hopefully I will be able to do as big a variety as I possibly can." Gibson's family lives in San Antonio, Texas, while he commuted to Los Angeles to film Criminal Minds on a weekly basis, something he said gave him an insight into Hotchner's divided priorities. Of the transition to Criminal Minds, he explained: "It's very nice to do a little bit of the darkness after a little bit of the lightness.
