Claire and I have split up. She will be moving out soon, and I may be looking for a new place myself. This is not easy on either of us, and if I hear anyone badmouth her, I will respond in a very unkind fashion. The main reason for the breakup is the issue of having children and if I want them like she does. Neither of us is right or wrong, it just is.

Let me make it VERY clear that this is VERY painful to both of us. I do not think either of us wants to hear the other badmouthed. We still love each other very much, we just seem to be moving in directions that are not parallel.

*I* will not rule out trying to be with her in the future. I cannot speak for her.

Thank you for your time.
