[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP of this thread. We moved out here a little over a month ago. I remember how easy and wonderful things were before this move. Since, things have been very tough. I'm actually sitting here crying as I think about everything that's happened in the past month. Both of us suffering losses of a different kind -- was in a bad car accident, his grandfather passed away, I m feeling isolated, and we both can't seem to cope with the weather. I didn't realize how real seasonal depression is.

I just started a new job, but the salary isn't near what I made at my previous job in SD. My boyfriend works long hours, sometimes 16 hour days and when he comes home, he is exhausted and goes straight to bed. I was beginning to experience a deep depression, being cooped up in the house, not knowing anyone, and braving my first snowy winter. One of the other reasons I took on this job was for the interaction. It's helping a little but I can't help but feel unfulfilled from it.
Part of me wonders why the hell I'm even here -- my previous job in SD offered me a promotion if I chose to stay, but at the time I was so adamant about coming out here to be with this man. Since the move, things between us have been rough and I feel like we are growing distant, instead of growing closer together. Everyone thinks I should be happy and excited but I'm not. I miss my family and my friends. And the man I moved out here to be with is constantly missing in action.  He comes home and goes straight to his office, sometimes if it's incredibly stressful at work, He's snappy and short with me. It's so surprising because he's never said a mean thing to me before.
I'm hoping this is just a rough patch till we acclimate with our new surroundings as well as living together for the first time. Sorry if this came off more as a vent. I'm just starting to question my decision and feeling slightly resentful. I don't want to feel this way. [/quote]

Other than the car accident and passing of his grandfather, what part of all of this is surprising to you? Because it seems like everything you're upset about, someone told you would happen.[/quote]
