For him, I went to live on the other side of the world

"I was never a globetrotter in the soul: my little comfort and my entourage were enough for me to be happy. Accountant in a small company, I aspired to a normal and peaceful life. A husband, children, a job and a warm and lively home. When I met Gary, I was already in a relationship and engaged to a "perfect" man. I did not think that an American adventurer a little rough form was going to divert me from my path ...

And yet, immediately met, immediately done! Best friend of one of my cousins, Gary was only for a few weeks. His photographic work made him travel all over the world, for missions usually short. During these few weeks, I had a break with my fiance to "find me" and especially to live a passion hitherto unknown with my beloved stranger. The word "Love" quickly became a part of our discussions and although it was postponed, the hour of his departure arrived and the sky fell on our heads.

I made my decision: a few weeks later, I found it. Head to the other side of the globe, San Francisco! The separation with my ex, my familyMy friends, my little quiet life was extremely trying, but I could not be far from the man I loved. The first two years were hard, I felt guilty a lot. Then, for 8 years, I lived my life like never before. We traveled a lot, about once a month, sometimes for business or pleasure. His way of life so different from mine ended up rubbing on me ...

For all these years, there has never been a question of getting married and having children. I tackled the subject seriously a year before our breakup. I had left everything for him without regrets, but I wanted a commitment and above all, a child. His answer was categorical: no. After a year of questioning and hesitation, I ended up leaving him. So here I am back in France, thankfully I quickly found my work and most of my old friends. I hope to quickly find the man who will make me forget Gary and give me a child.

The conclusion ?
Today is too early to say, I do not have enough perspective. I have lived my best years with this man who snatched me from my peaceful life and without much excitement. But I do not despair: a new life is waiting for me, that's what makes me stick! "
