Not OP but like come on, look outside - the country is a roadside attraction. I wouldnt raise my kids there under any circumstance…so I guess safety is a consideration.
Yeah I know but didn’t want to assume. Some people have family roots for example.
I do work with US colleagues and not all feel the need to move countries for example, which I find very interesting because it sure looks like a shit show to me. I’m not based in the US myself.
I was actually just starting to root here, for the first time in my life I felt like I could settle in somewhere. Then my polycyle imploded, lost most my friends, divorce, job is getting worse every day. Leaving the US has always been a dream of mine but I felt tied here most the time. Losing my entire social circle created a convenient opening
Hmm, well looks like it was a typo of ‘polycule’. But yeah most my social circle was people I was romantically or sexually involved with, I did also lose a couple of friends though too. It’s been a little over a year at this point and honestly I have not recovered from it. I lost four relationships that were 2-3 years each, a couple going on a year, one that was a few months but incredibly moving for me, and then the marriage was nearly 13 years; all of them broke up with me basically one after the other over the course of a couple months. I feel like I’ve been emotionally hollowed out and while I’ve always been tired of this country I now also feel tired of the people here

I have never heard that word before, am I to take it that your entire social circle was based on a sexual relationship?
Best of luck with it all, definitely get out of that shithole.
