Changing Partners, Lifestyle, Has Helped My Anxiety And Self Esteem
Following a nervous breakdown I took some time off in Santa Fe. I read, music, but no strained people issues. I reexamined my life and concluded that my various relationships led to my nervous breakdown. My life was in the toilet.
I contacted an old classmate from years earlier. He flew to Santa Fe, we had several long and deep talks. Always it circled back to my choice in relationships. I picked badly, and failed to recognize it. He offered me a room and time. I moved to Austin, actually a town called Bastrop.
Semi rural, small town, I had the run of the house, he is a pilot and has overnight travel. One night he asked if I wanted company. I was very ambivalent, but I recognized he wanted my company. I surrendered to him, little did I expect him to push it to the next level.
I found myself agreeing and becoming formally committed to him. A small ceremony a couple of months later and I was married. 37 and in over my head. I've been married now 18 months. He supports me and the household. I haven't returned to any gainful employment. I've been supervising some remodeling and updating. Not something I'm all that comfortable with.
One thing, I haven't had any anxiety issues. No breakdowns. I feel I have my life back.
