I wish i could write blog posts as interesting as you. You have very deep thoughts that people often dont like to express as they may uncover vulnerabilities. I recently had to leave a girlfriend of 2yrs in another country after also bonding with her family and friends. It was a difficult decision but my life was moving in another direction.

I think, it's the best post you've ever written. Your voice is always authentic and genuine, but this really takes the cake for my favorite article from your blog. And that's possibly because I know how it feels.

So thank you for sharing with us about all of this.

being lost feels incredibly lonely. not getting back what we give to others feels even lonlier. over and over i learn that the only person i will ever be able to truly count on in this life…is me. but because this realization is so terrifying, it is easier to live in denial, or to temporarily get lost in other people, in captivating projects. until, of course, the bottom falls out again. and it always will.

Hi, Penelope,
Well, I've been rooting for both you and the farmer the whole time, but this whole thing comes down to one thing in the Bible.

The man is to leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife. It ain't a marriage if the man can't or won't do that. And no wife can trust a man who would not do anything, or go anywhere, for the privilege of calling her his wife.

I hope the farmer will rethink and unlearn his dependency on his folks before he loses you and your kids.

I absolutely love your blog.

So much has already been said, but as a 33 year old career driven girl I found love, but it was after much heartache. I too walked away from many good relationships, and at the time I wasn't even sure I completely understood why. I have learned that when it is right, it is effortless. The decisions won't be such a struggle because they will be right. I am not trying to over simplify, I just want you to realize that you are a beautiful strong woman, and you shouldn't settle for anything less than having it all fit just right.

The farmer's commitment to the farm is commendable, but it is time for him to cut the cord between he and his mama and live his life for him. He can have both, (love and the farm) but who wants a man who doesn't have the sack to fight for your relationship?
