She said: “It was no one’s fault.
“People change and life changes us and we move on. It can be very brave to go, ‘You know it’s better to end this and be happy than… you know.
“That’s not a full sentence, is it? John and I had been together for a huge part of my life. I met him when I was about 29 or 30 and now I’m 55.
“I’m a totally different person from how I was back then.
“That is the nature of human beings and relationships.
“And I don’t believe in carrying regret. We were meant to meet, have those beautiful children and now we are on another chapter of our lives.
“God that sounds very bookish, but you know what I mean. I try not to live my life in the past,” she told the RTE Guide.
