If your marriage or relationship fell apart, would you have somewhere to go?

I was actually surprised to hear how many don’t. Another reason to consider myself lucky I suppose.

I have not had a relationship in the past five plus years by my choosing. And I have never ever understood not having your own place to go. I was married once, and that failed but I always had a place to go.

@VodkaBec Yes we have to be self reliant and not to put the key to your happiness in some one else's pocket.

@WillaKissing Wow, that’s deep, and well written.

@VodkaBec Thank you. I can not claim being the author, but it spoke to how I feel.

Nope.

That's part of why I have to just bite my tongue on a daily basis and take whatever my fiance and his family dish out. I've got nowhere else to go and my pets don't deserve to be homeless.

@DearAmbellina2113 That really sucks, I’m sorry to hear that. It almost sounds as if you’d go if you could.

I do now, I didn't when it fell apart unless I left my kid behind. I couldn't do that.
VodkaBec · 31-35, F
@Starcrossed lm glad to hear things have worked out for you and your kids.
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
@VodkaBec well that's not entirely true yet.
VodkaBec · 31-35, F
@Starcrossed Work in progress, if so all the best.

I didn't......that's why I was living in my jeep for a bit
Notanymore · 36-40, M
@VodkaBec oh yeah. I have a house and a place for my dogs. But part of my commitment to marriage was a full commitment to life with her/my family . So I was more than prepared to not have a safety net. If I had left a place to go, I would have never felt that my heart was in the right place. Shows what a fool I really am
VodkaBec · 31-35, F
@Notanymore I’m glad it okay now, I wouldn’t say you are a fool, only human 🤷‍♀️
Notanymore · 36-40, M
@VodkaBec aren't we all
Yepper, straight to each door to install new door knobs.
VodkaBec · 31-35, F
@DudeistPriest I gather that means it wouldn’t be you going?
SpaceCreature · 26-30, F
Yes I believe so.
VodkaBec · 31-35, F
@SpaceCreature I’m glad, from what I hear it’s something we shouldn’t take for granted.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
No, I don't think so.
VodkaBec · 31-35, F
@SweetMae Hmmm that’s unfortunate, no family? I hoping you don’t feel as if you want to leave.
Yes thankfully
VodkaBec · 31-35, F
@Somewhereovertherainbow Good to hear, a lot of people must become estranged from their families.
VodkaBec · 31-35, F
@boklenholley7 Good for you.
Mrsbetweenfatandfit · 26-30, F
I would but I also have made sure to make financial decisions so I would be able to be financially independent if that was ever a need again.
VodkaBec · 31-35, F
@Mrsbetweenfatandfit I see, sounds likely the once bitten syndrome.

@VodkaBec my father raised us that even if we found a perfect partner with a wonderful career, their length of life wasn’t guaranteed. My birth mother passed away just a month after I came to be. In fact my loving husband now.. his father died when he was 12 leaving his mother to struggle as she never bothered to acquire any skills to support herself or her kids. My husband ended up working at 14 then being the full time bread winner at 16. I really don’t want to even think I could ever lose my partner but it’s more possible than people like to picture. I wanted to always know I could take care of myself no matter what.
