[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - one night we had to stay with my husbands parents in upper marlboro (earth quake caused a little damage to our apt) anyway, he drove to the metro and took that to work...he seemed perfectly fine when he got back in the evening. Although if we moved to upper marlboro I would have to keep the car so he couldn't drive to the metro everyday. I am from a small town - far away from here. I just can't be happy in the city anymore, the best way to discribe it..I literally get sick at my stomach being here. I'm overwhelmed, it's hard to make friends because I'm so different because of where I came from etc * I'm from WV, but we're talking six hours away near KY.[/quote]

Not sure what you mean by "he seemed perfectly fine".  Yes, a long commute is fine for ONE day, but after many months, it can wear you down.  [/quote]

I think you are homesick and dreaming, OP. The reality is that your DH will be exhausted by a long commute. I'm the poster whose husband has been doing this for a year. For the first six months, he was FINE. Really no problems, and he enjoyed it. But as time wore on, he got more and more exhausted by all that traveling, and by trying to cram in time with me and with the kids, a social life, exercise, church, other things he likes to do on the weekends and after work. It's impossible to do everything when you have so little time at home, and DH feels frustrated, and that frustration is stressful. Think carefully about what you need and what your family needs, OP. If we had another choice, we would not have done this. Listen to the PPs, and try to find a house or townhouse that will give you a less urban feeling, while your DH has a shorter commute. A commute of 45 minutes is the cutoff, OP. More, and you will regret it dearly. [/quote]
