Soupe, I realize that you probably wish I'd mind my own business. But we've known each other for quite a while now, and I do feel a bond. I feel sad that you've sounded so burdened since moving to Czechia. Burdened and lonely. Of course, I don't know the personal reasons of why you and your husband made the decision to leave the States and settle in his homeland. I know that you were checking out other options, other locations in Europe and nothing seemed appealing.
I can certainly understand reasons for wanting to leave the US, whether for a while or permanently. And sure, return to Czechia...I do wonder, though (please forgive me if I am sounding absolutely ridiculous; I really am just tossing a thought out) - I believe you mentioned taking a trip to Mexico. Would it be at all possible to take an extended period of time there, a few months, maybe? Take a true, restful vacation? Spanish is a heckuva lot easier than Czech is and the bright, warm climate, fiery, welcoming people - what a balm for the soul!
I think of dear friends I have who live in Costa Rica (ironically, they've Bulgarian). They went to visit, stayed to live, love at first sight and have been begging me to visit them there "in paradise" for at least 16 years.
I don't know. I would feel happy to read posts you write that sound like you're blossoming. I want you to know that I mean what I've written with the very best of intentions and warm regards.
