At the moment I prefer being single. It gives me space to follow whatever path I choose.


Nicki, I was also in a physically abusive relationship, however as a former soldier and now copper I felt incredibly isolated and lonely. You cannot talk to mates "on the job" and friends that we had were retained by her in the break-up.


You should learn to value your freedom. By your logic, I should consider all women to be scumbags, but I don't. An entire gender should not be tainted due to one bad apple.

Being single beats being in a bad relationship by miles, or even a so so relationship. I found being single hard when I lived in a small town where pretty much everyone was married with kids, but in London there's so many more single people to hang out with, and even those that are in relationships seem less inclined to vanish once they've settled down. If you've got lots of friends you are often less lonely than someone in a bad relationship.


Nonetheless, I'm not giving up on the chance of love yet, will just be quite fussy. And by that I don't mean earns a fortune / drop dead gorgeous, just mean am not putting up with being treated badly. Fortunately I haven't suffered like some have, but my ex fiance concealed a very big secret from me that blew our relationship up in catastrophic style so honesty is going to be very important in the future.

Lol, no.


Bet Vicky Pryce wishes she'd kept her mouth shut instead of seeking revenge.

    • Invitation to Expectant Parents: Infant Observation Are you due to give birth this September or October? Would you be interested in taking part in an Infant Observation with an NHS honorary psychotherapist?  I am an honorary psychotherapist working with adults in the NHS (Adult Complex Needs, Tavistock Clinic). I need to conduct an Infant Observation as part of my NHS training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. By taking part, you can contribute to mental health services and our understanding of human development from birth. Infant Observation is an established part of psychoanalytic training. It allows for the in-depth study of the early life and development of babies in relation to their caregiver(s) in their home environment. I am looking for expectant parent(s) who would be interested in taking part with their infant from about 6 weeks after birth, ideally beginning Oct/Nov 2025. The observation would take place for one hour each week during term time at the infant's home at the same time each week, to be agreed between myself and the caregiver(s), for the duration of 3 academic terms (roughly 9 months to 1 year). My role would be to non-intrusively observe and reflect on the infant's development and communications. The work is a requirement of my training at the Tavistock and would be supervised by a Tavistock clinician. Parents and caregivers can gain support and insight from taking part at this important and unique time in your baby's development. I work with adults in an Adult Complex Needs unit in the NHS, and at Tavistock Relationships. I have worked in a psychotherapy community for survivors of human rights violations where I helped establish a mother and baby group for refugee and asylum seeking mothers. I have a Phd in Literature & I am a contributor to the London Review of Books. I am working on my first book, a history of childhood. I am coming towards the end of my psychotherapy training having already gained a postgraduate diploma in Psychotherapy from the Tavistock NHS Clinic and University of Essex. If you would be interested in taking part with your infant, please respond to this post. With thanks, Mary Hannity
