They're all very valid concerns, and I feel like I wrote this entry, too. ^^" It's exactly why I won't move out of Tupelo, but if Mark snagged a darn good job out of this place, I'll find a way to manage. XD I suppose something needs to REALLY push me, ya know.

*HUGS*

Thanks so much mindy for validating my rambling concerns. If Jenn snagged an awesome job somewhere outside Sioux Falls, and could afford to support us while I looked for a job in the new town, I would TOTALLY move without much hesitation at all. However, I'm just scared of up and moving with no safety net :\

Thanks for your support though!

I think your frustration at Jenn constantly changing her mind is not the fact that she changes her mind but not knowing if she really means it or it's just a result of her current mood. Jenn herself admits that having a new med plus other issues has kept her a bit emotionally unbalanced, so it's hard to know -even for her, I think- when something is really an issue or it's a result of the meds and/or other problems. I believe that, given enough time, her emotions will settle a bit and she'll be able to consider what she wants ( ... )

Thanks so much for your reassurances, katz :)

Don't worry about rambling. I was rambling in my entry! ;) It wasn't boring at all, your reply was quite re-assuring and helpful.

I think I will take your advice and have Jenn make a list of her reasons for wanting to move. Thanks so much! :D

Thank you for that. You are absolutely right. Most of my venting was a result of my meds adjusting. Coming off Effexor XR and going up to my full 60mg dose of Prozac was a nightmare for a week. Finally, a week and a half later, I'm feeling better.

You are a kind and understanding person, and I appreciate you so much.
*Hugs*

That is definitely a lot of stress you both are under. No good in my saying anything really-- I'd just be repeating what others have said. *hugs*

micaturtle August 2 2011, 15:26:23 UTC

thanks for your support and reply though, cyn. :) It's nice to have *hugs*, even if they are "virtual" ones.

*huggles* Everyone has already said the stuff I would except this selfish little remark:

If you move out here, I/Jem can show you around and Jem can tell you places and you'll have two ready made friends waiting!

>.> Yes, I'm selfish. -_- Bad me. *huggles anyway* But I understand what you mean by everything you've said up there.

Also, no selling TMNT stuff until I have room/money. *greedy too*

micaturtle August 2 2011, 18:30:01 UTC

hee hee. The funny thing is, NC is #1 on my list of places I'd like to move mainly BECAUSE of you and Jem! XD

Maybe we could all 4 get a place together and just have it be TMNT decorated to the MAX! =D

The main downsides to NC is:
1. It's in the south, so I'm not sure how tolarent the atmosphere is to gay couples.
2. What if we all get in some HUGEMEGADUMBASS fight after we move there? Then Jenn & I will be all alones D:

jem0000000 August 7 2011, 08:34:56 UTC

I second the showing you around, and I know four or five ways to get anywhere here, so I can teach you them ( ... )

micaturtle August 8 2011, 15:05:59 UTC

*pouts about not having an awesome house of TMNT fangirls* We will have to talk further about it, because I'm a punkass. But that's far-off and nothing to worry about right now.

Ewwww Leo-mural! NOESSSS! ... however, I know that Jenn will want it in the bedroom :p booo! hiss! Booo!

Hang in there!

I can definitely see why Jenn wobbles on your family/where you live, though. (I think they're both connected.) Your family is very involved, engaged, and (from this outsider's perspective at least) pretty emotionally demanding. There are certainly good aspects to this, and it's the 'normal' you grew up with, but to an outsider I think it can be frustrating (my family is more like yours, and it took a lot of compromises on both sides before we found a balance). So as she has bad and good days, it becomes harder/easier to handle your family, etc; or if she's having a good day and spent a lot of energy on giving your family her patience the day before, it may bug her more than it would otherwise.

micaturtle August 11 2011, 15:27:24 UTC

Thanks so much for your reply, phish. It's good to know that we're not the only couple that has had to deal with these issues.

Although, I'm not sure what you mean by "if she's having a good day and spent a lot of energy on giving your family her patience the day before, it may bug her more than it would otherwise."

lady_ganesh August 11 2011, 20:38:40 UTC

Totally not.

Like "I was so good dealing with all this bullshit yesterday, what do you mean I have to put up with it TODAY TOO?" It's one of those 'but things are going so well today, don't make me deal with anything frustrating'/last straw things. At least that's what I think. ;-)
