[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been married for 11 years now and have two little kids and this sounds a little sad to me. You never cook? You don't go to happy hours with friends? You don't host dinner parties? You don't go to cafes and peoplewatch? You don't go for hikes or go to the Shenandoah or go apple picking?

I mean, Netflix is great. But the last time I did want you guys do every day I was nursing a newborn and stuck in a chair for several weeks. You're presumably young, don't you want to have experiences you'll remember when you're old and invalid and can [i]only[/i] sit around watching TV?

Eh, this is probably a troll post, though, so I guess it doesn't really matter what you respond.[/quote]

We're in our late twenties and work downtown and live in Vienna. DH usually works late, 7-8 and by the time we get home its 9-9:30pm. We don't have time for elaborate meals during the week day. Also, we don't usually have a lot of friends and living in Vienna and the commute means we are pretty solitary.

Do you like your life how it is now? I'd kill myself if I got home at 9pm every night. Seriously. You're just living to work at that point, with no time to actually have a life. Two hours of commuting? Can that even be right considering you claim to drive (Vienna from the district has gotta be more like a 40-minute drive at 7pm).

Move closer in. We lived in a divey but safe shitty apartment in Courthouse pre kids. It was so worth it to be home in 15 minutes. Then you can have time together to build a life. If you want kids, you'll probably want to move toward a lifestyle where you'll actually see them before 9:30pm, anyway.[/quote]

I'm absolutely not happy with my life right now! I'm always depressed and feel like I'm missing out. This commute has made it hard for me to make or keep friends. I can leave work early 5 or 6 but i get a ride from my dh so I usually wind up waiting for him and leave work at 8.

It sucks.[/quote]
