Here, Rosie writes candidly about how she managed to move forward after her husband left...in love with for 26 years had become a stranger to me. I was in pieces and had no idea whatI was devastated, and I don’t say those words flippantly; you can be ‘devastated’ when that flattering maxi skirt has sold out in your size, but what I mean is that my entire being was decimated, my self-esteem shot. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep.

I went on dates, and kissed, and realised there were men who were better suited to me.
