An ex walked on me days after I got home from open heart surgery, but your story … is … quite a lot worse

Also, just how awful is it when you’re at your lowest. Solidarity

Yes, it's horrible. But also, when trash takes itself out, it's doing you a favour, really. I met my life partner about eight months after that awful experience, and it taught me a lot about what I valued in relationships - kindness and care being the biggest.

Oh absolutely. My next partner was amazing, and I realised that aligned values was something I couldn’t compromise on.
