[quote=Anonymous]People tend to way, way underestimate their commutes around here. I don't see a Dumfries to downtown DC commute being one hour, if you are not commuting in the middle of the night. I don't even know where Dumfries is....just sounds far.

People do commute from far places, it is possible, it's just not for me. We are one of those families who opted for a small house close in because it isn't worth giving up hours of my life. I still have a 45 minute commute door to door, and I live close in! I walk to a metro, don't have to change lines, and work near a metro. I can't imagine having to drive to public transportation, then take it in from far away. I can't imagine a bus is very fast, at least metro is not on the roads. I don't know OP, sounds unpleasant, but if you want more property/bigger house it's one way to do it.

I would suggest your husband actually trying the commute during the hours he would be going to and from work. Then picture doing that every day.

I have a coworker who has a 2.5 hour commute each way to W VA every day. Not sure how he does it, but he does sleep on the train, and his wife doesn't work which I think does make it easier.[/quote]
