I hereby announce that I'm applying for separation from Mr Postgraduate Studies (PS). It has been 3 long years. Novelty of our union had worn out after the first month. Since then, I struggled to keep our passion alive. By choosing to be with Mr PS, I had given up a fairly high-paying job, moved to another country on my own and paid for all expenses during our time together. It was a choice I made and I had to live with it.

It is time for me to move on with my life now. I'm looking forward to having my weekends back. The recycling bin can have all the stuff that will remotely remind me of my ordeal. I will have sole custody of any publications that may result from our union and I will be keeping the title of Dr. (I deserve it … thank you very much).

There won’t be another Mr PS for a very very long time.
