I was discussing some of this - my life - with two of my closest friends over the last couple of days. Both unmarried though in relationships.
One said that his dad had written to him once with the words, 'your mother is a difficult woman but my life is richer for her.' Maybe that is true for us all.
The second asked whether I might consider a separation. I genuinely believe 'no.' It is my right responsibility to see this through.
And we do have our good times. It is just that I have lost faith and confidence on whether there is affection there - and if there is, how long it will last.
Onwards.
