I finally got up the courage (again) to say I am leaving. Last time my wife talked me out of it (6 months ago) and I still thought about it everyday. I am packing light and going out of state for a month to see if this is truly what I want and if it will be better for me alone. I keep trying to talk myself out of it because it is just easier to stay, but then I remind myself of all the reasons why I have wanted to go for around 2 years now. My flight is scheduled end of this week - I will let you all know if I was able to take the harder road and finally leave. Anyone else take awhile to finally get the courage to leave? And how are you now that you made that choice?
