I'm lost

...See more Right now I feel a bit lost in terms of what I'm going to do for work. I'll briefly explain what has happened. For reference, I worked and lived in Korea for 18 years and moved to Vietnam last October. After getting a divorce in early 2018 I went to work for a university that I thought was going to be a great job. Little did I know it was horrible. The professors were treated poorly and the president of the program I worked in was abusive. I ended up lasting two years before I quit in early 2020. I had no luck finding a job and to make matters worse this was when the pandemic started. Finally in March of 2021 I found a full time job teaching. The classes at that time were all online. I was having some physical problems as I had some issues with my mouth. At the time I was taking medication that made me drowsy. This really affected my performance. Needless to say my contract was not renewed and I finished at the end of Feb 2022. Again I tried to find a good job, but as hard as I tried I couldn't. I decided to uproot myself and move to Vietnam and work there. In 2017 I had visited here for three months so I was somewhat familiar with the place. My new job has been pure ***. In December I ended up negotiating my way out of the contract early so I could leave at the end of May. I've been doing interviews the last few months and again nothing. Now I'm debating whether or not to go back to Korea. I'm really unhappy here and I don't think things will get better. The problem is I don't have a job there either and I would have to start over and find a place to live. I just need someone to give me some advice. Thanks....

A marriage and a mess

...See more I am visiting a country in Africa because I met a woman online. I came here in late February and we got married in Mid-March. She is 25 years younger than me. We were stuck in lockdown for three beweeks which was lifted on Monday. I have been spending 24/7 with her and have found out that our personalities clash. Several times I've wanted to leave, but not felt up to it because feeling overwhelmed with dealing with her. I was afraid a few times I would hurt myself and called someone and talk to them. I also used listeners here. On Monday I finally made the reservations and will be leaving on Thursday to stay in a hotel the rest of the time I am here. I know there will be a conflict between us when I tell her that I am leaving. I feel that I've had to do all this under the radar to have the confidence to leave. My flight doesn't depart until May 5 because the boarders are still closed in the country. I can't wait to leave, but the conflict that will occur when I tell her will not be easy. I just feel like I"m trapped in this bad situation and have no one to help. David
