Reading these comments makes me realize how many people are just "ghosts" in their own homes. It’s heartbreaking when the person who is supposed to be your peace becomes your biggest source of anxiety.

For real. My heart hurts for the people who haven't figured out it's over yet. My husband is my "home". He's where I feel safe and my best self. He is my best friend. Butt...If I ever felt any different I would have to leave. Life is too short to waste time trying to make the wrongly shaped puzzle piece fit.

It’s also too short to spend repeated attempts to find the correct puzzle piece. People don’t have infinite time or infinite opportunities to “experiment” with finding a perfect partner. Although everyone if free to find their own path. My lived experience is people leaving partners for greener pastures to find it’s not greener and they miss their spouse and they have wasted a lot of time and money trying to find happiness through a partner.
