Swimming against the current - PH in piecing

[avermont]

Wow, pearl, what a difficult sitch. I wish I had some wisdom to impart. What really hit me was "he was unhappy and didn't have the balls to say so" My sitch exactly!

All those possible reasons you give for staying--comfort, history, standard of living--don't judge yourself harshly for those. Those sorts of reasons have a basis in day to day basic happiness--we can bravely go out and meet the world each day BECAUSE we are comfortable, have a shared history with someone, etc.

I guess the question is--are those reasons enough? are you happy enough with the sitch as you are working to improve it?

Or is jumping out of the comfort zone the next, horribly painful step you (and me) need to take in order to have a truly fufilling happy life?

I don't know the answer to that--just thinking aloud here.
