[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think about it often. It's logistically challenging and my DH is not on board (though he gets closer every year, I think).

[b]There are just a lot of things about American culture that will never change and such a negative for my well being. I know other countries have cultural issues that I wouldn't like either, I just find those issues less alarming than some of the American issues [/b](mostly gun culture and individualism/capitalism taking to what I believe to be an unhealthy extreme).

I also sometimes think I've been American for too long to make it work somewhere else. Like I should have emigrated in my 20s but now I'm in my 40s and even when I dont' like it, I embody an American ethos that won't work elsewhere.

I don't know. Sometimes it sucks here. Some things are great, better than anywhere else. Some thing are not.[/quote]

There are and people constantly bring this up, but having spent years abroad in Europe and Latin America i find I take those things less...personally? There is a disconnect mentally that whatever that dysfunction looks like it isn't really mine as a foreigner, I don't own it in the same way as American issues. Anyway,  I wish DH would get on board because I am definitely due for some time out.[/quote]
