I felt like I had finally found my person, the love of my life, and moving forward with our lives would be the life I'd always planned for myself; that I'd be loved and looked after for the rest of my life. Well, I wasn't that naïve — I knew there would be all kinds of challenges along the way. I'd seen enough of my friends going through divorces to know it's not easy.
So you can imagine my shock when I was on the verge of breaking up with Brett, telling him I was leaving him — I wasn't going to tell him I was leaving him for Dave, as I wanted that information to come out much later — when things didn't exactly go to plan.
About two days before I'd planned to end my marriage, Dave phoned me, saying he needed to talk to me, urgently. I was worried he had already told his wife he wanted a divorce and that it hadn't gone well.
Nothing could have prepared me for the bombshell he was going to drop on me. I remember it like it happened yesterday.
