The Winds of Change are Blowing

Hello friends and random visitors. It is with a heavy heart that I write today's post. Despite my truest and best efforts to build a life together with Charles, it seems our relationship has run it's coarse and that we are nearing the end of our journey together.

Having gone through more than my fair share of break-ups, I know this is not the end of the world and that I will be strong and survive on my own. That doesn't mean I'm not sad, hurt, confused, angry and all that other stuff. Our lives have been intertwined for the past four and a half years, letting go will not be easy. But, I deserve to be with someone who wants to be with me, not just someone who is settling for me because I pay half the mortgage, do the laundry, buy the groceries and so on. If I can't have that, then I'm better off alone. I have already learned my lesson about staying with someone for the wrong reasons. It's not a lesson I need to relearn.

And so, unless there is some drastic change for the better over the next few months while I gather my financial resources, I will be moving on to the next phase in my life. I hope no one will get the wrong impression when I say I do believe I shall swear off men for a nice long time after this!!

On a completely unrelated note, have you ever met any one with a spine about as sturdy as Gumby??
