Have you ever thought of just leaving your life and starting over somewhere?

I sometimes wish I could. More now than ever, but I know it isn't possible for me. Not only do I not have the means, but I have people who are counting on me right now. I don't think I'd be able to leave my family.

Definitely!! After having a bad few days with my husband (and kids) I wonder what I would do if I left and started over. But I really can't imagine doing it!! Not too my kids...but it is a fantacy I guess.

Believe me I have thought of it. But I am not the adventurous type. I guess pretty scared to start all over and do something totally different and at my age now I don't think that I could.

yes, I have. I was married to a wonderful lady, had a couple wonderful sons, a pretty good job and was beginning to make a good life for ourselves after struggling through school, an early marraige, etc. I had to travel a great deal regularly to another city. In fact, the company had a hotel suite for me each week when I went there. Yes, I fell in love with a waitress there, started having her live with me in the suite...even when I wasn't there. We eventually had a kid and I continued this double life. I was able to support two life styles because I kept getting bonuses (which were unknown to my wife). Eventually I received a promotion and would no longer have to do the travel. I considered just not returning one week. But I decided I had to tell both women about the other women. My wife decided to stick with me...I think she knew I would feel guilty and lavish her with lots of gifts, money, etc. The other women took me to court immediately for child support, and alimony, of which I have never missed a payment even though I haven't been allowed to have much of a relationship with that son. Unfortunately, my wife did end up leaving me shortly thereafter. I do not have a regret of not running away...because I believe I will gain a relationship with my son when he becomes older, and that would never have been possible if I just ran.

I do. But I am even more extreme. I do not dream of migrating to another place so that I can be a second class citizen elsewhere. Instead, I fantasize that I can leave to a place that is not the Earth we know and start a new lease of life there.

yeah, like once a week I would have about $20 per day to get started Also, I have $5000 credit left I would NOT lose touch with parents and siblings though. Sometimes I think if I just put on my backpack and started walking it could be fun. Maybe I'll try a month of it when the weather warms up. It would be Way more fun with a girlfriend to share the adventures with.
