There's lumberthing I want to tell you

Even without having to go through divorce, ending a long term relationship is hard.

J and I lived together for 13 years. Our entire adult life at the point we separated. It was painful and messy and full of mixed and confused emotions.

And, much as I loved, and still love, him, and as many wonderful times as there were, as a whole that relationship pretty much put me off relationships altogether.

Had a fling with Dave, but it was never going to go beyond that. I know I prefer to be single.
