Ahh, I saw the other post, before seeing this one. Well, the it depends answer still stands. Are you trading one set of issues for another?
I've seen this play out before, in my life with an age old friend. Some years down the road with the 'happiness' pursuit, I've seen changes from what used to be boredom to little anger outbursts that are so not like her.
My verdict is not yet in on the topic..
