So we had our own little Scottish referendum in LA. I'd like to say the decision was unanimous but there were only two of us voting and I lost! The Scot has left me. Ok I’m being dramatic. He’s moved out. A whole 3 miles away to the bottom of the hill.
He called it ‘conscious uncoupling’. I know that's what Gwynnie & Chris did so I googled it and found out that 'it brings wholeness to the spirits of both people who choose to recognise each other as their teacher….without the process being a miserable and traumatic experience through and through’ Hmmmm. I hope he hasn’t found spiritual fulfillment just by not living in the same place as me. As for what we’ve taught each other, mainly an appreciation for better wine (him to me) and that margaritas can be a great substitute for the aforementioned wine (me to him)
Was the process miserable and traumatic? Actually it wasn’t as bad as I thought. Instead of barging into his room and throwing myself on his bed to chat to him I just do the same with his apartment and couch. And if I can’t be bothered driving the three miles down the hill (or more to the point find parking!!) then I FaceTime him instead. This is probably why he hasn’t found his spiritual fulfillment, he actually sees more of me than he ever did.
I am a little envious of his shiny new apartment and I did threaten to set up a bed in the living room but he quickly put a dining table there instead! I also miss his help around the house. I’m not sure what I’m going to do the next time a lizard gets into my bedroom (Chris Pratt was no help whatsoever last time) although I did manage to capture one of the cats I let escape last week. I realized quite quickly that shouting ‘Ellie stop being a t**t’ at her as she spat and hissed at me from up a tree was not going to work and as the Scot was not there I had to deal with it, so I did.
He’s only got 8 months left on his lease so I think he will have got it out of his system by then and I can consciously couple myself back on. Or I will have found my own swanky apartment and he’ll be begging me to take him back.
Miserable and traumatised? Who me? I’ve not given it a second thought!
