Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

so I moved from chicago, il to pheonix, az with my husband. in the month I have been here I have been broke, depressed, and possibly cheated on. I havent gotten along with my husband for months and my son (by another man) hates it out here. so do I. I cant stand the weather, the people, being broke. I left a good job that I cant get back in il but my whole family is out there and most of them want me to come home. I can barley keep myself calm out here. I hate it so much. I dont even care if I leave my husband behind. should I stay and try to make it work or go back to the people I love? please do not stay hurtful or rude things to me.

Answer #1

I think that if he is fine with it, then it’s possible that he wants you to go as well. I know that is harsh, but it seems to be the case in my opinion.

I think you should go back home. I mean, if there is nothing for you where you are at, then why stay there?

You can go to usajobs.gov and search for a good job back at your home. Good luck.

Answer #2

ok well its your decision…it would be a better choice to choose the pple you love:) and you wouldnt have to wry bout so many things afterward:)

Answer #3

I think you should talk to your husband first…talk bout moving back…if he says ok then you have nothing to lose. its not right to leave your husband behind…he’ll worry.

Answer #4

he knows I want to go and is fine with it.

Answer #5

I think I wil go back. theres nothing out here for me. I hate being miserable. thanks for the advice.

Answer #6

I would go home - leave the cheating loser - be among family for love and support - start anew…you can and must do it !!

Answer #7

That’s a tough decision. Is your husband working? It is possible, since he is only 20, that he hasn’t completely matured and has simply sowed some wild oats. That doesn’t mean that he cares any less for you. It is up to you whether your relationship is salvageable or not.

If you don’t think it is salvageable then you should take your 5 year old son and move back to Chicago.

If you think the relationship might be salvageable then you should stay in Phoenix and give things a chance. One month isn’t really long enough to decide if the new city is workable or not. Try giving it at least six months (one less cold Chicago winter :) ) and spread yourself around a little to see if there are activities that might make Phoenix more interesting.

Try meeting some of your neighbors with young children so that your son can develop friendships. A lack of friends might be helping to cause him to not like Phoenix.

        Simply a Rose to brighten your day,         And maybe lessen the cares in your way;         And also, too, to help you to know,         That in knowing you, many others grow!
