You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

Oh, too true!You need to experience bad times in order to appreciate the good ones.
I've been despressed, living in a squalid little room with dirty housemates and cockroaches in the kitchen - in an unrewarding, low-paid job, with a bitch of a pseudo-girlfriend who was only pretending that she loved me in order to siphon what little money I had by acting as if she needed pity (we never even had sex: she pretended that she's been through a bad experience, so I was "understanding" for 3½ years).
Now I have a reasonably-paid, interesting job, have a lovely clean spacious place of my own, and an amazing girlfriend who loves me to bits.
But if I had had it all along, then I would not appreciate how lucky I am to have it all now. Therefore I am glad for the bad times: it has put things into perspective.
