Hoping to get your thoughts on something.....

My life isn't too good at the moment (relationship breakdown) and yesterday I decided to hand my notice in with immediate effect. I have got relatives in Spain and am considering going there indefinitely.

I will just miss "my lovely Sheffield" and all of my support network of family and friends and I am not sure what to do.

Should I go, or would I just be running away??

Only you know that.
I was considering doing something similar a few years back, didn't go in the end due to being really ill for a few months. But by the time I was better I had made a whole new bunch of friends, but if it wasnt for that id have been outta here.
You can always come back if u dont like it.

Maybe you should just go for a long holiday, MP without upping sticks and moving there permanently. Change of scenery and chilling out might put things into perspective a bit more and you'll feel better when you come back.

Hope it works out whatever you decide.

Cant give advice as not qualified, but if you love Sheffield then stay here cos this City can love you back beleive me.

By all means escape to Spain for a bit, but come back eventually! You'll be sad you didn't if you don't :)

Go to Spain for a while for a change of scenery and have a little break from things.After a while you know whether you can make things work if not you can always come back...

Thanks guys, really appreciate your thoughts on this. Just feel that if I stay here I will either go crazy or have an injunction served on me for being a bunny boiler lol

Perhaps going for a few weeks might just help.

Thanks a lot!

I'm so sorry to hear of your recent problems. I am too going through a bad patch, but for different reasons.

It's up to you. I for one would go to Spain if you have relatives over there. You have little to lose. Then you can come back if and when you are ready.

It will all work out eventually.

I wish you the best of luck, whichever path you decide to tread.

I think it's a good idea and I speak from experience. I always found Spain very therapeutic when I was going through my divorce. It was the only place I felt sane and free from worry. The trouble was it was all still there waiting when I got back. Anyway it's all over now thankfully, I've moved on and am a relatively happy singleton. I don't think I would have been if it hadn't been for all my friends in Spain. What part do your relatives live in?
