Today, had I stayed married, would have been my 30th wedding anniversary. 30 years!
I lasted just over 8 years and that seemed like an eternity - how on earth would 30 years have felt? How different would I have been I wonder?
There's so many things I would never have done - travelled, moved to London, gone to university. So many great people I would never have met. So many good times.
Of course, I've also had my share of absolutely crap times, met some nasty people and done things I really wish I hadn't - but all said and done, at least I haven't spent the last 22 years slowly fossilising in a seaside suburbia.
Which brings me to the subject of oysters. 30 years of marriage is a Pearl anniversary. Had I stayed the course I'm sure I would have been presented with a string of pearls today (to go with my twinset no doubt).
Yes, the world may be my oyster but I missed out on the pearls.
