You've heard some of this before, but let me tell it anyway...In 2000, I left my job after 8 years, left the little house I rented that I adored, I put my belongings in storage, I left all my friends, I left community theatre...I got in my car and drove to Wisconsin to be with someone I thought I was in love with, someone who had convinced me we were soul mates and belonged together. I felt sick the whole time I drove and I could not pinpoint why. When I got there, she confessed that she had TWO girlfriends and wanted to "keep us both" while she decided "who she wanted". I had spent the better part of my 20s on the "nesting trail" - I wanted a partner and a house and was convinced THAT was all I needed for happiness. Now it was shattered. I left the next day and drove to NY, where I stayed for 6 months before dragging my carcass back to FL with my tail between my legs ( ... )

Wow. Thanks so much for sharing this story with me (and you're right, you have told me part of it before, but I didn't know about the after effects, so similar to my own situation right now. Makes me feel worlds better to hear from someone who has been through it and survived it and is so confident in herself now ( ... )

You can both laugh and cry. *Big Hug* I love you. I'm sorry this is so painful for you.

Thanks! But no vomiting?? :(

I agree with our friend Bluestocking7. I don't believe there are mistakes. You tried something, decided it wasn't for you, and are moving on. How is that bad? It would be far worse to stay and be miserable.

Well, you're completely right about that, Skye. And as my wonderful friend Ty said to me recently, how on earth would I have known it was a mistake until I tried? At least now I will never wonder! Thanks for the support! *HUGS to you + 3*

It's existential angst! It does suck, but ride it out and it will get better. Love you!!!

Lordy, that is so true. I hate the riding out part. I think you can probably relate with what you're going through right now. As Tom Petty said, the waiting is the hardest part! :) Love you too!
