Would you ever take him back? It's a question I get asked a lot. My marriage meant everything to me, as did my husband. I loved him so deeply and couldn't even bear to think of a world without him.

Reality Check: The Excuse Factory

October 15, 2018October 16, 20186 Comments

In a relationship, we are programmed to see the good in those we love. Our feelings for them run so deep that the bad elements of their behaviour can often be cancelled out by the good. If we want to remain with this person, we can choose to focus more heavily on those good parts. … Continue reading Reality Check: The Excuse Factory

Reality Check: The Instinct to Investigate

October 3, 2018October 18, 20184 Comments

The desire for the truth. It has been the catalyst for countless stories of discovery throughout the ages. We have a natural desire within us to uncover, unearth and unveil and when it’s about something important to us, that desire can be too great to ignore.

Reality Check: The Affair Signs I Didn’t See

September 19, 2018October 11, 20186 Comments

My marriage went up in smoke the day I found a text from another woman on my husband's phone. So many people ask me whether I saw it coming.

Reality Check: Raising The Bar On Hurt

August 29, 2018September 7, 20188 Comments

Divorce forces you to reassess what you thought you knew about relationships and about human behaviour in general. In my situation, my husband left me for another woman and discarded me in a very cruel way. This may sound naive of me but one of the things that has shocked me the most in all of … Continue reading Reality Check: Raising The Bar On Hurt

In the movie business, a screenwriter may be told to do a 'rewrite' of their screenplay. This usually consists of using the original version of their story as a rough guide but manipulating and editing its events so that it works better for the intended viewer. This might mean losing major scenes from its timeline, … Continue reading Reality Check: The Rewrite Of You

Reality Check: Taking back Control

August 13, 2018August 13, 20184 Comments

Mahatma Gandhi once said, "The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within." How many of us have accepted a tyrant in our lives?

This week I felt angry. It felt good! The anger made me feel in control, it gave me a brief interval from the awful feelings of loss that I have been experiencing.
