I am sorry to hear that you had such a bad experiences with having a partner. You deserve to be with someone who treats you in the best way ever, and who makes you feel happy, loved and appriciated.
I know how you feel though as I also had bad experience with my ex and I wish that I had left earlier and not stayed as long.. I know that I deserve better but then I thought I didn't. But that experience also shaped me and I am a different person cause of it, stronger.

And the move, Mabye someday you can move back to your hometown and work there, we never know what life has in store for us.

And about the Age...
attitude towards life and how you choose to live it

Well said.. That is exactly how I think Age is for me to.

Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful weekend. Cheers 🌸
