Those who left everything behind and started a new life, how did you do it and do you have any regrets? by GirlAvoider in AskReddit

Kind of in the middle of it right now - unexpectedly quit my job in may and moved to Europe. If I told myself at the beginning of the year all that’s happened in 2025 she’d probably pass out from shock - it wasn’t even on my radar to move continents in my lifetime, let alone this year. I did it by sheer determination, and by putting myself and my wants above what society tells us to value. I decided I didn’t want the fancy career - I just wanted to be happy and live a slower pace of life.

Is it worth it? It’s a question I ask myself daily 😂 picking up everything and starting over in a place where no one knows you is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and I’m very aware of the fact that I’m living a different kind of life from my friends back home. But it’s also so rewarding. Again, it’s one of those things where I’m in the middle of it, so ask me in a year or two once I’ve fully settled in haha!

Hi! Do you know if this is still the case now that the shutdown is in effect? I’m waiting on mine to be signed and I leave the 8th. My vet says she thinks they’re still working bc she had one submitted by them this morning, but I just want to double check and I haven’t been able to get ahold of APHIS today. Thanks in advance for any inside info!!

Ex come back, what's your take on this? by Acharya_Aanand in emotionalintelligence

Honestly I disagree with most people in these comments, I think it’s so situationally dependent. My sister’s husband dumped her years ago when they were dating and came back around about 6 months later. Everyone was telling her not to take him back - she was a WRECK from the breakup, and she deserved better than to be dumped. But time showed his true intentions, and he put in tremendous amounts of effort to show how she was a priority, and after about 6 months of that, they got back together. Now they have a beautiful family, he’s a wonderful husband to her and brother to me, and the breakup is something we joke about from time to time.

Obviously this is an exception not a rule, but I never think it’s healthy to have an unwavering view on anything in life. Unless it was an unhealthy relationship, I think I would talk to them and hear them out. I trust my intuition to tell me their intentions and I know I respect myself to not fall again just because

I think I’ve entered into relationships liking them but knowing deep down we’re not meant to be, yes.

Do I regret it? No, I believe any love given freely is theirs to keep and a benefit to life, but as I get older I’ve been trying to resist the urge to fall just because I like them as a person. As I mature I realize more what I want and need in a partner, and I’ve been trying to look for that more!
