I had to reply: "No"
The lesson is: give yourself the time you need to make these important decisions.

Be patient, more will be revealed.
Pelican....such wise words of wisdom! As I struggled with ending my relationship with my ABF, I mulled over with whether to leave him or not, where to live if I did leave, and how my career would be impacted. Too many choices to make, too many options to consider.

I felt overwhelmed and was on the verge of DOING NOTHING out of anxiety and fear!

Instead, I made small goals for every week, while making time for rest, exercise and good nutrition. Since then, I feel more in control of my life.

This is a major decision, take your time, keep posting!
