He is everything your mother tells you to avoid – but I’m still thrilled by the idea of him
I expected hot flushes and mood swings; what I didn’t expect was that she’d find a whole new lease of life

Returning to university a couple of years ago has made me realise that we have nothing in common intellectually

He’s no longer the man I fell in love with and I’m finding it increasingly hard to see his attractive qualities
'Maybe the fact that I find this so annoying is proof that I still care about our relationship, which is a good sign'
'While I might have been jealous 30 years ago, now it just makes me feel horribly embarrassed for him. I think it makes him look a fool'
'My wife often instigates intimacy but I am so resentful of her selfish spending that I find it impossible to reciprocate'
'It was just a costume – but sometimes I wonder if he’d rather I was still faking it'
'I know my wife loves and values me, but I don’t think she has ever felt the passion for me that she did for her ex'
