Yes, okay. My separation happened a really long time ago. Now it does feel still so recent because of course I've had to kind of stay in that time period as I was writing the book. And now talking about the butt. But yes, my, my story, I think like all couples stories is very individual. It's certainly not representative of what I think is average for a lot of people.

We were together for a very long time. We got together quite young. We lived together for many years and then decided to separate after one year of marriage and So all of those things I've noticed that when I speak to other people about their divorce, a lot of those elements are common, even if they're not necessarily similar.

And that was something that I think really was the starting point for why I wanted to write this book about divorce. Like in the book I write, it's this experience that's so common and yet it can never be ordinary. Yeah. I just think that is endlessly fascinating.

I'm recommending divorce. That resonates. And that didn't end up happening. But my brilliant friend, the editor, Dana Tortorici, suggested maybe I just write that anyways for her at M plus one. And in the course of working with her, I actually started thinking about it seriously. I have a tendency to, you know, you've read the book, you've seen I can be a little opaque.
