My friend, Y, has a problem. She has just broken up with her boyfriend of six years.
It’s a massive change, but she has coped remarkably well with the separation, and has re-established herself as an independent woman – new house, new job, new outlook on life.
Now, after months of painful healing, her ex is having regrets about the breakup.
And her doubts are creeping back too.
“I always thought I’d be married and have kids by the time I reached 30” says Y “But now, at 28, I have to start all over again.”
So, does she take the chance and get back together with a person she’s devoted six years of her time to, or does she start looking elsewhere?
If you are a numbers kind of person, doing the maths can be daunting.
How many dates do you have to go on before you find someone you like enough to be serious with? Give it, say, at least six months to a year?
Then one to two years of co-habitation before an engagement (assuming all goes swimmingly), perhaps another year to plan a wedding and then the obligatory honeymoon period before settling down to have some babies?
You can understand why she’s considering going back to an ex that she’s already been through all the preliminaries with. But is it the smartest idea?
