In 2008, when my marriage hit a significant pothole that changed the shape of the relationship forever, I wrote this short but poignant post; Blindsided.
Now everything is different.
The marriage is gone and I live alone.
And I wonder what the future will bring for me.
Mate, you need to stop thinking about such things all the time and stop analysing absolutely EVERYTHING.
Relationships are complicated enough without every little detail and aspect being continually scrutinised.
That way, madness lies. Trust me.
Try and enjoy what you already have without going too deep, too quick (especially if there is baggage). Take small steps and take your time.
If it doesn’t work out – for whatever reason – don’t take it personally and don’t bloody analyse it! Just pick yourself up, dust yourself down and start over. Just as you have done once already.
Easy for me to say, I know, but I do understand what you are going through. Been there, done that, threw the T-shirt back in her face.

Sound thinking Auntie Claire. Thank you. I’ll try. But analysis is my natural behaviour.
