Moving on

kaza

I was married for twenty years sadly it ended in 2004 we just drifted apart, with bringing up children work etc my ex husband and i remain friends so our two sons now both in their twenties have good support from both of us. When we split up my husband moved out,i stayed in the house,managed to pay him off and with lots of hard work we both supported our sons, the youngest still lives at home with me. i am very proud of them both. my husband has a new partner of 4 years which i am fine with pleased he is happy. i had a male friend for 2 years which ended.

In May 2009 i met a gentleman through a friend 13years my senior. I saw him once a week for coffee,for a few weeks, he was very low in himself due to loosing his partner to breast cancer one year previous to us meeting. 8 weeks into our friendship i found a breast lump myself, after tests it revealed i had breast cancer grade , stage one  mastectomy . After i was told i had breast cancer i told my partner, i said you can walk away i would understand fully, and we could remain friends.

He said he would not walk away, but he could not support me having gone through it before. I went to appointments on my own, day of surgery girlfriend came with me i was fine with this at the time.

It was a difficult time for both of us,
