J and I were a committed couple and lived together for 13 years, beginning when we had just turned 18 years old. That's longer than many marriages last. As far as we were concerned we were in it for the long haul. And the decision to split was no easier because we weren't married than if we'd have had to get divorced either. Maybe slightly easier because of the lack of kids, but still - it took three years of a broken relationship before we could actually bring ourselves to call it quits and the process of disentangling our lives took another couple of years.
We are still close and he's still one of the most important people in my life.
