This morning he told his wife of 8 months that he wants to split up and live the life he has inside him.

I thought it was a very courageous thing for him to do. His dad died 3 years ago and his wife helped him through. He still loves her but knows he wont be happy staying and having kids soon and stuff without stretching his legs.

I met him at university, he was there with agood friend from home. Then he went home. He has always had support in that sense and has never been alone or having to look after himself.

she would not leave - small town girl who wants a family now.

I am incredibly proud of him for making such a big decision and not mulling it so long that they both hate eachother. I hope they can both be good friends in the future.(less)
