No matter what side of the equation your on...Have you ever just wanted to run away?<P>That's how I'm feeling these days.....Who cares who's right, who's wrong. Where we when wrong with the relationship. Where we are headed......I just want to run away. Seems like eons since I had the ability to just run away.<P>I've been married my whole life, and there has always been resonsiblities I could turn my back on, my H, my kids, my parents, my job, my dog..........And I guess I'm feeling selfish, and just want to run away!<P>Anybody else feel this way?

I used to plot leaving and going to Montana or Wyoming and trying to get a job on a ranch. Especially when the kids were really small and I had so much pressure. I knew I would never do it but just the fantasy seemed to help once in awhile. Never in my dreams did I think that my H would be the one to run away. I guess I'm just the stronger person for staying. Running away doesn't solve anything, just makes more problems and more guilt.

I understand the need to run but right now that is the reason I am so frustrated with my W. She did run away and doesn't want to deal with this. For that, I am resentful toward her. I thought she was stronger than that......<P>------------------<BR>Rutger......One day at a time.<P><BR>

i used to work in a prison and was so stressed i envied the guys locked up in segration. they were at the end of the cell block, no one bothered them and they just relaxed and read and did pushups whenever they liked. i used to think a few days of that would be nice. i bet they never dreamed their keeper envied them.
