After ten years working I've amassed some savings as well as a large amount of pent-up stress. I want a few months off to reset my brain.
I own my own home with a mortgage which I pay myself. No children.
My partner disapproves and says I am [ab]using a huge amount of privilege, and is worried about how long this will go on because I am showing zero motivation to find a new job and I haven't set a hard limit on how much time off I want to take. Not sure if it's a jealousy thing or what.
My parents are outraged and are acting like I'm going to be cast out onto the streets if I don't find a new job immediately. Every day I get some form of “why haven't you contacted jobs yet?”
It's getting extremely tiring having to defend myself for living my life the way I want to. I feel like everyone is judging me.
Has anyone else dealt with this? If so, how?
