Thanks (maybe) for the shoutout, steve.

We don't have enough information to advise Aether_Storm sagely or otherwise. There's millions of reasons to stay and millions to leave. My guess is that when it gets bad enough A_Storm will make her move. I think I have a poem on that topic. Let me see if I can find it: When it gets bad enough we leave.

  We wrap our dreams around a man.
  Shoulder to shoulder we build our homes
  And hide our hearts in every niche
  But when it gets bad enough we leave.
  

  We leave when it gets bad enough.
  Not the first time we catch a punch
  Or see the kids cringe
  Or call the police
  But when it gets bad enough we leave.

  
  When it gets bad enough we leave
  For the kids at first
  Or for our lives
  In spite of love or lust or need
  When it gets bad enough we leave.

  
  Because by then we’re half-crazy
  And he’s spent all our money
  We’re always angry
  And it’s no longer funny
  And if, by then, we’re still on our feet
  When it gets bad enough we leave.

(of course if it is a domestic violence situation, I would say dump that chump yesterday - but that is also hard to do)

What do you think, Steve? Should I post a #todayswritingprompt on the topic of leaving?
