Re: Does Moving Away Help? dave13: Oh yeah... simply not having that person to have coffee with was a big change and I felt lonely. But now I have 10 to 15 coffee buddies at my new stomping grounds. ;D
Re: Does Moving Away Help? atd74: I too am of the belief that running away to a new state will not permanently fix your issues - it would only be helping you to escape what you have to inevitably face.
I think it's interesting that you share "custody" of your dogs. I gave "custody" of our two beautiful boxers to my ex. And one of them was definitely more mine than his but I couldn't and wouldn't subject them to living in a condo as big as they are and I wouldn't separate them either. My ex would ask in the beginning if I wanted to come and see them but number 1. it would be very hard LEAVING them behind once again and number 2. i did not see it as a very healthy way to continue on with my ex. So, that's nice that you guys can do that but unfortunately maybe its hurting you more?
Someone else had said to wait and think things through thoroughly before you make this move... I agree. See how you feel in some time and if you are still gung ho then go for it but you've already had a major life altering event... do you really need or can you really handle another right now?
