As a 38 year old woman looking to unsettle an unsettled life I fear what is down the road for me. Moving to Italy will be about me and making a future for myself, not about finding love but I'd be lying if I didn't say that I hope love will come to me there.
What frightens me is the ever turning marriage/ divorce situation throughout America. Love and Marriage just doesn't seem to work. And it isn't always about infidelity, it's anything that makes you believe less in your ideal relationship. And you start to feel like you're settling.
Relationships are hard. And as I get older, they become scarcer. I had a date ask why I hadn't been in a relationship in 3 years and I really didn't have an answer. I can say to myself that I don't want to get involved because I'm leaving, but when I leave I'm not sure I'd be any more open to love.
And Italy can't solve that for me.
