I am sure that every one here holds back information about things while online. If your smart, you DO NOT put all of your information out there no matter what site or community your a part of. There are too many people out there doing the wrong things with other peoples information if they can get it.

Of all of your posts that I have read recently, I don't believe any one asked where you are from but more importantly is it any of their business where your from? If your closeted, which your not, you are more than likely to cover certain tracks or identifiers that may out you and there's nothing wrong with that.

Seems to me, your making a big deal out of nothing really

As for the job change, you have to do what is right for you and your relationship. If your retiring in 3 years, you may want to wait it out and collect the full benefits that are due to you but ultimately that is your decision and I wish you the best in whatever you chose :D
