Plus: Is leopard print now considered tasteful?
| | It wasn’t a blazing row or infidelity that led to the breakdown of Kat Farmer’s marriage – it was a final disagreement about laundry: “I suddenly saw that neither of us deserved to spend the next 30 or 40 years compromising, life was too short,” the fashion stylist and author writes here.
Lockdown exacerbated the couple’s domestic niggles and while Kat’s husband and three children enjoyed being housebound, she felt like a “caged bird”. When she and her now ex-husband decided to separate, she was most surprised – and saddened – by how other women treated her for “walking out”.
On the topic of relationships, the Midults give advice to a reader whose boyfriend keeps breaking up with her, only to get back together with him each time.
