After a difficult breakup, Emma Donaldson decided to go celibate, so she's been finding lockdown (and putting herself first) a doddle When the news first came through that the country was heading for lockdown due to the coronavirus, most of my friends started panicking at the prospect of being stuck inside with their other halves.
I made sympathetic noises; but I wasn’t too alarmed. I knew I would find it easier than them, because for the past 10 years I’ve been single and celibate, happily living alone.
In my 20s and 30s, I had relationships with mostly difficult, artistic types – men with no inclination towards a long-lasting relationship.
