Life on hold?
First time posting here, I'm 31m in a 10 year relationship with 30f-DX.
I was wondering how common it is to experience putting your own life on hold because of issues in your relationship?
I've recently decided to change job, and much like last time I was considering a move I've suddenly become aware of all the issues in my relationship with my dx spouse.
My current job brings me a lot of stability but it's time to move on to advance. The issue I'm dealing with is that the stability acts as a kind of anchor for me when things are tough with my partner, and changing job would introduce a load of unknowns and insecurity into an already stretched personal situation.
A move would move me further away from family and my broader safety net.
Am I the only one? Is this a common thing for you guys, too?
