[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your DH needs to find a different job with a shorter commute. The issue is not whether to be upset (though I would be too) but whether his current commute works for your family. It does not, therefore it needs to change. Same as if his office had relocated. He can find a WFH job or one closer to home.

Do not quit your job - he seems unreliable and you need your own income and mobility.[/quote]

The problem with moving to the exurbs or some dream small town in Montana - is that you are literally shackled to the company you can in with. The jobs are in cities. Which makes the commute almost guaranteed to be permanent. [/quote]

We don't know where OP is or what her DH does for a living.  They can't have gone that far since OP still commutes.

To the "I saw this coming" PP above -- the question has always been whether people will quit rather than go back to the office.  Anecdotally, a lot of people are doing that.  Others are still waiting to see what their employers do.  There will be a period of instability as employers decide about WFT and then employees decide whether to stay.

This post is in the relationship forum because OP wants her DH to take responsibility and be with their family.  That means changing jobs.  Or I guess moving back to the city but I assume that's financially unwise if they sold/bought. [/quote]

Anectdotally - ime the one's quitting are the ones with jobs on the lower salary band in the first place. I guarantee you that all of my friends at Goldman/Morgan S who have either been back in-office full-time for two weeks now and/or recalled (and started coming in already) have not quit.

I talked to dual-finance world couples and they made the joint decision to just go back to pre-2020 life. [/quote]
