Dear malachy:

You are welcome.

“the opportunity had arisen and he didn’t want to let it go”, the opportunity was to work on a farm in Australia.

“he said he loved me with everything he had”- I suppose he loved you but Australia was more important to him than being with you. It doesn’t mean he is a bad person, just that he wanted Australia more.

You wrote that when he told you that he was leaving, you “reacted real bad”. How did you react?
