And I don't know, really. I don't want to stop seeing him. He wants to keep seeing me. We are going to try and see each other more often, even if just for a few hours, whenever we can. Hopefully one day over Easter, which will be nice.
Miranda, he's has 3 relationships. No 1 started when he was at school, married young, had DC, she was unfaithful to him several times, and eventually went off with someone else.
He then started relationship 2 very quickly after that break up, moved in with her practically straight away, bought a house. More DC. She was then v unhappy, I think they had counselling, it didn't work.
He left her for relationship 3, again moved in with her almost immediately. After several years she had an affair with someone v well off (if not a millionaire close to it) and kicked him out, that was almost a year ago.
From stuff he said about it tonight, I think he had a breakdown, or was v close to it. He said he couldn't function at work, left his job, withdrew from friends.
This last few months is the only time pretty much he's been single in his life. I think he fears - not unreasonably - repeating past mistakes.
