We Agreed to Wait a Year Before Divorcing
I was sat in my car outside Tesco, engine off, shopping list forgotten, when it properly hit me: I had no idea where I'd be living in six months. Rachel and I had decided to separate three weeks earlier, but beyond "we'll sort it out amicably," we'd done precisely nothing. The girls were in the middle of their A-levels, we were both exhausted from years of low-level bickering about money, and now I was having a minor panic attack in a car park because I couldn't answer basic questions about my own life.
