I recently got the following email from Marie…

“I’m surprised that your big break-up isn’t posted. It would help to understand your story on how you got where you are now. Please share.”

Since my book has come out, a lot of people have been asking about the man who inspired it.  Their questions go something like this…

What does Mr. Ex think of the book?

Does Mr. Ex know about the book?

Did you tell Mr. Ex about the book?

Those are all excellent questions.  The truth is, I have no idea if Mr. Ex knows about the book and if he does, how he feels about it.  Obviously if he wanted to know what I’m up to these days, all he’d have to do is Google me.  But whether or not he’s done that, only he knows.  Then again, mutual friends could easily tell him about the book as well.  That’s not for me to know or worry about. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if he knows or what he thinks.  The book isn’t really about him.  It’s about my own journey following my Big Breakup.

There are two sides to every story.  And I’m sure Mr. Ex’s story about our breakup is a little different from mine.  But I know he would agree that it was for the best.  That we are both in better places and better people because of both our relationship and subsequent breakup.
