<prompt> Human: I come looking for thoughts and opinions. Im going to try to leave the emotions out of this and TL:DR the sob story, but ultimately it all comes down to: How would you restart a life in your 30s from scratch??Ive spent the past 8-9 years with the love of my life traveling and building an online business. We did everything in her name. It was great, times were great, etc. 2 years ago on Christmas I had a bad time after dinner and things never got better. Long Story short, a few months later I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder that kicked my ass. We stopped traveling, rented a place and went to see the best Dr. In the country for this. During the battle it wasnt looking too good for me so I put everything in my fiancées name so she wouldnt have anything to worry about. It got real close, but I ended up pulling through. After 2 months in the hospital and 2 years fighting, my fiancée decided that she didnt want my disease to be her life. So shes moving on. And has everything. Yes Im sure I could fight for it and this and that... thats not why Im here. I love her. Ill always love her and I just want her to be happy. So there will be no fight. Rpersonal finance: I am now in my 30s, with a college degree and no showable work experience for the past 9-10 years from doing it all ourselves. We did online marketing and did pretty well. My credits mid 500s from mistakes out of college about 10 years ago and since weve just used hers. Essentially I have to start from complete 0. Figure I have 2-3 months to get it all figured out while shes still paying the bills. Maybe a little longer. So how would you restart a life from 0, and build it from the ground up?? I have to do it physically, emotionally, AND economically, but Ill just ask about the money here. Thanks in advance, and happy holidays.  <response>: You have work history, its just not super traditional. Dont discount the handwork you put into it to the success of the business. Its completely logical to an employer that you got sick and had to step aside in the business partnership to get better. You dont need to bring the personal relationship up in an interview. If your looking for the same type of work develop a portfolio.
