Sexless in the City

Four months ago I was a married woman with stable home life, loving family, and a gorgeous four bedroom house with a conservatory (whilst the conservatory has no relevance to my dating life, I’ve always felt like having a completely pointless room in your house was a sign you’d made it).

Then I decided to blow it all up and leave my partner of 10 years. Why? It doesn’t really matter. Lots of couples break up for all sorts of reasons. And 99% of us newly singletons all have the same first thought: I need a “confidence boost”.

Fortunately this is the one area where me and my ex are on the same page. Which is a relief because we will likely be living together for at least the next year.

So I was ready to burst onto the dating scene, red lipstick and LBD at the ready. But frankly I would have been better prepared wearing full camouflage gear and a bulletproof vest – the modern dating scene is a minefield.

And whilst a normal person would take one look at the battlefield and retreat into the comfort of a therapist’s office, I can’t afford that. Instead, I am writing this blog so I and anyone else can have a good laugh and my misfortunes and mishaps.
