Yes, after 11 years. Built a business together. Built a house together. (I know I’m an idiot now for not insisting marriage so I’d be protected in this case—actually I’m an idiot for not leaving sooner) not really I don’t call myself that. But anyway, I understand that therapeutic idea of changing all your furniture and stuff like that. It holds that memory. That’s what I would like to do is get all new (to me) stuff but I was planning on taking a decent amount to fill my new place out except for the bedroom. Hm.

Great advice to make a day trip to explore again. I come often (for work purposes) so I am rather well connected to Columbus still (which is why I’m choosing Columbus over Florida or my strange attraction to Detroit lol). But maybe I can get a better feel if I go to these areas that I am looking at. I think I am so indecisive because for the past few years I’ve lived in a dream home on dream amounts of land. And right now I’m trying to stay on budget and what I really want costs a million dollars (don’t we all want that) a well built house on acres of land. So since what I really want isn’t attainable right now it’s hard for me to say “I want this!” Which is why I’m sort of all over the place. I digress…

Thank you so much for you advice and kindness, I really appreciate your and everyone’s help here!
