'It’s taken me a while to get here and it hasn’t been easy, but I love the woman I am now.I know only too well that not every marriage/partnership is a recipe for happiness and success,' she wrote. 'My own marriage was too over seasoned with extra marital affairs for my taste and so I opted out and chose the single menu instead. It wasn’t easy and it took some getting used to.'

'I wasn’t even sure I liked it much at first, but as I regained my confidence, my freedom and myself after so long, I discovered that it really isn’t a cliché to say happiness really does comes from within,' Alex, who is a chef, continued. 'I still get the occasional well-meaning comment — that I’ll get "snapped up soon" rather like a supermarket meal deal. People don’t like to believe that a woman can be happier single.'
