Who would you choose? The schizophrenic ex-partner who blows hot and cold, tries to bully you from time to time, but is considered to have enjoyed a special relationship with you for many years. Or the former partner who you dumped but is now in a forgiving mood whilst you realise it was a big, huge mistake to leave them in the first place.

It certainly has been a lively start.
