Dan and I broke up yesterday, and we’re both feeling frankly rubbish. I feel as though this has been coming for an awfully long time, and yet my mind keeps going over and over what we could have done differently to avoid this. However with me being me, and Dan being Dan, I doubt it could have panned out any other way. In the end, we are great individuals but we don’t actually function all that well as a couple, at least, not anymore. Hopefully we can keep our friendship, if we have the space and the will.
I’m so sorry everyone. Please help us make this transition as painless as possible.
Dan writes about it on his blog.

I’ve no idea what to say, aside from to offer many hugs, and, though I doubt you will be, another ear to listen, if you’re short of support, so have both of those. Looking forward to seeing you next weekend. Kx

Lots of hugs being sent to you, and Dan. Also everyone else that this affects.
You are both stronger than you may be thinking now, we are all here for you.

Claire, you (and yours) are always going to be part of my extended family and I’ll always be here for you as well as Dan. I’m so sorry it’s come to this and hope you feel better soon. Hugs. Doreen xx

Och wee Claire. Little darling. You’ll feel better at some point but for now, when’s it bloody awful, I send all my love (you’ll get less sent out when you feel a bit better). You are a lovely person and your relationship with Dan was a great success. It’s better to Q-it while the going’s good. Thinking of you and having a beer on your behalf.
Lot of love
Jen
