How do I make a big (potentially life-altering) decision?

JellyBean450 · 03/04/2018 15:56

I’m newly single and my whole world has been flipped upside down – I don’t know what is next for me. I had a vision of how I thought my life would be – I thought that this relationship was The One and clearly I was wrong. Everything I thought was to come with this man is now no more than a distant memory and I am terrified.

I have made the lists of pros and cons and I am no better off – I keep coming up with a split decision. Do I leave the city where he was my main focus (although I enjoy the place and have a good job) or do I move back home and save for a deposit on a house, which I would never be able to do while I am single and stay where I am? But if I move home to my parents (albeit to save money for a deposit) will I feel like I’m taking ten steps back? Will I be able to meet someone again in time who shares the same desires as me and is driven and determined in such a small town? Am I limiting my options?

Please can anyone help me? I know that this is a decision I have to make on my own but I am currently so lost that I can see no way forward. Tell me it gets better than this. Please.

what do you actually want to do? you must have a preference.
and going home is not taking 10 steps back, at any age, life happens.

oh and how old are you

What would happen to the good job? Will you still have it if you move to your parents for a while?

Flip a coin. If the “wrong” side comes up, you’ll know what to do.
