There is enough gender confusion in our world, and now, particularly at Christmas time, supermarkets are pushing for gender neutral toy isles in their stores. What helps us identify with our gender? Is there a biological predisposition for boys to be attracted to boyish play in order for them to fulfil a vital role with regards to evolutionary survival or is it a learned behaviour? A boy reaching for a pram is not a precursor to homosexuality; in fact, it’s probably a compliment to the parents.

Please just love one another. The alternative is too great a burden to carry. It's not out of fear that one should love to sustain a relationship, but out of a sense of duty and care. We wake up, kiss the kids goodbye, head off to work, return and go to sleep. We become mechanical, free of thought; actions become driven by this unconscious routine which lacks little input, bypassing any notion of cognitive ability. As a couple we become passing ships in the night. Please just love one another.

My most recent post, Going at it Alone, generated much interest. Readers invited me into their private lives by sharing their own troubles – the very things which keep them awake at night. What this has shown me is, firstly, I am not alone in my current situation, and secondly, we are so good at not only hiding our innermost misfortunes to the outside world, but have in fact become experts in creating a whole new world where life is carefree and fun beyond comprehension.
