This thread is beginning to deliver.
I admire your honesty Pop.
'Hey, online community, my long term partner left me 72 hours after I was eating her fart box - what should I do?'
All joking aside though pal, what Prai said is right, I got into a relationship with my ex during Uni and after 6 years in January I returned from a month away and ended the relationship because it no longer felt right, we wanted different things and were moving in a different direction, as much as it hurts now, it's better than finding out in 10 years that the mother of your children hasn't loved you for a decade and is sleeping with the neighbor whilst you're at work.
For the record - since ending my relationship, I've moved to the States and am typing this from the lobby of a hotel on Ocean Avenue overlooking the beach in Santa Monica, surrounded by beautiful women who go weak for a British accent.
See this as an opportunity not an obstacle - there's a whole world out there and around 3.5 billion women in it, I plan on interviewing as many as humanly possible for the role of girlfriend/wife/partner/soulmate.
Good luck pal,
Also, post n00dz. Thanks.
