So glad you decided to stay!
I chuckle when you talk about wanting to move because it is frustrating not having anyone to help when something breaks, etc. I chuckle because one of my best friends was so frustrated the other day. She is married, god bless her husband I love him, is helpless in the home repair arena. When they were dating and his light bulb burned out he called the super of his apartment. So even having a man around doesn't mean squat. Granted they are great to move the heavy stuff. I will guiltily admit I waited a week to break-up with a boyfriend because I needed his help to move some heavy things to the basement. I know I am horrible.
