Estella Newbold-Brown had a chequered relationship history. By the time she was in her mid-30s, she’d only had one “proper” relationship and had a string of disastrous dates behind her.
Londoner Estella had fallen in love in her 20s, and assumed she’d get married, buy a house and have kids. It lasted six years before they split up and Estella dated solidly for a decade afterwards. But she didn’t enjoy it. “With some of the guys I dated, it felt like something was wrong with them; they were controlling, or slightly odd.
But not all of them. “I would also feel like something was amiss. I hated dating. I would travel on the train into central London to meet guys for dates but would feel anxious in my tummy and would often self-sabotage by thinking that something was wrong with the guy that I was dating – when there wasn’t. But I had no idea why. Sometimes, I thought there must be something wrong with me,” Estella, a family lawyer, explains.
But her whole world turned upside-down nine eight years ago when a mutual friend introduced her to Faye. “I was blown away by her. I can’t describe it. She walked towards me and I knew she was the one. I fancied her, liked her personality and she was super funny and really smart. “Everything just instantly clicked and I immediately knew she was the one. I wasn’t even confused about my sexuality. I felt so confident about it all and it was extremely refreshing.” After getting to know each other, they started messaging and then met up for dates, playing snooker, going out for dinners and watching live music.
