To just want to run away

[KarateSchnitzel]

Sort of lighthearted but I'm going through a difficult period. Currently separated from DH, got our first marriage counselling session today. I feel like I've just had enough with life. I'm not suicidal or anything but I'm currently looking at houses on the other side of the country. Does anybody else do this?

My DD is a year away from Uni and I just keep thinking that I should just move when she's gone. I have lots of lovely friends nearby but i still want to leave.

I'm also considering booking a week abroad on my own to just escape from everything. But fully aware that everything will just be here to deal with when I get back.

AIBU to just think sod it, and leave? Or will this feeling just pass?

Plan an adventure! Do something out of the ordinary. It will give you something to look forward to.

Running away won't solve anything. All of the issues you have now will still be there, and you'd have left your daughter and your friends. Not a good solution. Hang in there, it will get better. You might also want to consider if peri-menopause is playing a part in how you feel. HRT can help.

I've just found out that my partner of 16 years has had an affair. I last slept on Saturday. I'm say here and I'm really contemplating going on the 7 train.

I’d do the holiday. Take a break from the shit temporarily - if you can afford it, certainly no harm there. Go! 🙂

moving - not a good time to make a permanent life decision! I’d give it longer before making that choice xx

Do the holiday and get some perspective on what you want long term. I wouldn't make any big changes at this point.

Maybe you just need to reset. I would first take a vacation, because making a permanent change. Maybe you will come back with more motivation. I think something like that happened to me already.
