			<description><![CDATA[First of all, I imagine it's pretty hard for you to end a 10-year relationship. You've been out of the dating/hook-up/hanging out scene for quite a while.

The transition to being single doesn't happen overnight: it's a process, not an event. Getting used to being on your own is bound to be tough, whether your relationship was monogamous or not]]></description>
