You need to stick around longer. Just because this relationship or situation is heading into unfamiliar territory, that doesn’t mean you have to head back home! Dealing with the gray, ambiguous areas of life is a valuable skill that should help you in many circumstances, so take a deep breath and promise yourself you’ll see this through. You’ll learn something, no doubt.
