At size 14, I wasn’t huge but I lost my confidence, which had a knock on effect on our sex life.
Andy had recently got divorced when it started so he’s always happy to work around me and I escape when I can, but it’s only once or twice a month that I have the time to go to his house, on the other side of Oxford to mine, and make love.
Meanwhile Jim lost his enthusiasm for life, he was knackered too from work as a construction manager and could barely be bothered to go for a pint with his best mate, let alone woo me over dinner.
While I was a gym goer in my 20s I never seemed to find time to go while juggling children and my part time job in an estate agency.
Later I’ll go home to my husband Jim*, who I’m taking out for a Valentine’s Day dinner in our favourite local Thai restaurant.
