From the first frantic lust-fuelled months, through to the dwindling desires on the road to breakup, former lovers (but still friends) recall the rollercoaster rides of their relationships
Peter We were married for 33 years so of course, I could write a book on this. We got divorced three years ago, and I now have a new partner, but things broke down because we fell out of love. I still think she is a totally amazing woman, but there’s no romantic feeling there any more.
We met when I was 28, I couldn’t keep my hands off her. We never had any problems in the bedroom department, and once we knew we were compatible, we married a year later – no messing around. When we moved into our first flat, we had sex in every room and nearly every day, for the first few months. Sex was always a big part of our relationship, even when we had three kids and even when Claudia was pregnant. We always made time for it. I was lucky to have met someone with a similar sex drive to me.
