That's when I knew it was over...Nice and simple this week. Just tell us the exact moment you knew that relationship, that job or that penchant for custard-dipped young boys was over.

It Was All Angels FaultA break up that actually went pretty smoothly.
So we'd been married for 10 years, were pretty happy, still much in love with each other. Go out to dinner to celebrate the big One Oh, it's going well, life is good.
Then we start talking about what makes us tick, that kind of thing, and I casually mention that one of the reasons that I really like the show Angel is that it explores a dark (emotional) side of males (I know it doesn't really get into it, but there is a hint of it in a few of the characters that you don't see done often). She suggests by way of allegory that she understands a particular aspect of my personality. I don't find it to be true, and use another illustration to describe what I believe is actually the case.
We sit there for a bit, then she starts to cry (not unusual, as she's a bit emotional, but not loony).
We go home, and at about 3.30am, she says that she's not sure we should continue the relationship. I know immediately that she's right, so we break up. On our tenth wedding aniversary. Was pretty sure it was over then.
18 months later, and we're still great mates.
