Almost everyone I have met on the road, and I include myself in this group, was "running away" from/to something. Usually lone males whose relationships have come to an end or failed to get off the ground in the first place. Crisis, like a wake-up call, prompts us to look at what we have and don't have, reasess values and look at what we can afford to lose set against the potential gain. You realise that you are sitting on assets that you will only continue to accumulate, that going to work everyday is a mug's game and that the significant other in your life, was actually holding you back from achieving true potential.
If one has been unwise enough to breed, however, then tough. Sorry, but your place is at home until they are old enough to fly the coop. Now is not the time to be off risking your life in strange lands.
Wouldn't this be best off in "Women's Topics" - Isn't that what it's for?
