I was dating this man a while ago; it was pretty on and off. I really fell for him but there were alarm bells (he didn't get on with my oldest eing one of them). We finally split after he wanted me to move the kids after years of upheaval from the one place they've really settled down and are happy. I said no, he wasn't content with a long distance relationship so it ended. I agonised over whether I had thrown away love..until.....he said he has to move on and will go out and find - and I quote - 'a dirty slapper who he can treat badly as he can't feel the same for any other woman he felt for me'...a dirty slapper??? Are women so insignificant to him that he has relegated them to that? In that one line I felt all my doubts disappear and knew I'd done the right thing.
