Somehwhere, Over the Relationship.
So I am writing to inform you all that after almost 6 years, I am now single. And my ED is 95% to blame. After supporting me through near-death, recovery, ongoing and relentless body dysmorphia, and a negligible libido, Mr Goldberry has finally had enough.
And although I feel sad about the inevitable change in my lifestyle (which won't really hit me until I return to Melbourne from New York), I can't say that I'm feeling at all heart-broken. I love him to bits and he's my best friend ever, but this a guy that has physically repulsed me for a good couple years now. And he's always been very disrespectful of my family (although absolutely wonderful to me). So my mum is happy, and although I'm very scared, it's a little exciting too.
I just now realise how much the ED affects my life. And how much more careful I will have to be in future relationships to not allow it to take such complete control of me.
