EBearhug · 13/02/2024 11:13

At 40, I was just single after being in an LDR for about 5 years. I'd asked him to arrange something for my birthday (pub with friends there,) and he didn't because he's not bothered about celebrating birthdays- and he also didn't tell me till it was too late for me to make alternative plans.

I was single for the best part of a decade, but have been dating for the last couple of years, including a very wonderful but sadly short relationship.
