@Picklebobble2 How did those things end up working out?

@1455spd Messy ! The career was curtailed by virtue of the fact i was trying to make advancement in a field where men were often viewed with a degree of suspicion (Social work)
The partner became a wife and the 'unhappiness' turned into jealousy/rage and ultimately violence !
And everybody else either walked away or was a victim of the aftermath !

@Picklebobble2 Ouch. I'm sorry. That's brutal. Sounds like you at least managed to not lose yourself amidst that mess. I can see how that would send many off the deep end. A lifetime of resentment.

What career are you in now?
