Classical Guitar or Electric Guitar?

i am currently confused on what method of guitar should i play.
i studied classical guitar for about 4 years, and my last piece was Vals venezolano by Lauro.
i have teaching certificate, and ive been teaching for a year, keeps me stable, good money.
and then i stopped because i moved overseas to continue my study, like other international students, im alone in a new place, and got no friends, i spent most of my leisure time studying and browsing youtube, then i found an electric guitar virtuoso Joe satriani, his music inspires me, every note he composed managed to alter my moods, from good to bad, and vice versa, i have never seen or hear any music like that before in my entire life. i began to play electric guitar, and learn a couple of his songs, then i began to know other musical genres such as blues, funk, etc. i was quite happy, and began to practice electric guitar all the time. but the thing is, after a while playing electric guitar and decided to play a couple piece from my old classical asturias, my hand wont adjust to the guitar’s neck, and i play awkward sounds..
does this mean i have to decide? i dont want to leave one of them behind.. i love both of them.

my partner plays four guitars bass electric electric guitar classical and folk guitar he manages to play them all just vary them it takes a bit of getting used to after a lay off anyway.

    So weird – I’m listening to Satriani and I just happened to click on your question. XD

    You don’t have to decide. If you play both often, you’ll get used to both. If you think that playing them both often is too difficult, play one the majority of the time. Remember – you’re not giving the other one up for eternity, and you can always switch if you want to.

    Obviously it takes some adjusting to return to the classic guitar after electric-they are constructed differently…? ?
    There is no reason why u should decide to stop playing one..thats just absurd.
    How long were you away from your classic guitar? might be helpful to keep it mixed rather than one or the other.
