    PRO : Leaving behind someone who treated me badly. Will find someone who adores and cherishes me.

    CON: My apartment is straight up in da hood.
    PRO: I have a roof over my head and a deadbolt on the door.

    3.
    CON: New job I just got (YAY) screwed me on salary, and I know it.
    PRO: It's more than unemployment!!!

    4.
    CON: Life is hard.

    NEG: My husband deployed 3 weeks after our wedding and is gone for a year.

    POS: He is, hands down, the best man to love and to be loved by. (to that, a caveat.... Marry a friend. You'll never waste time trying to impress someone who already knows your full of crap, leaving you with all the time in the world to laugh with each other)
