[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moved here 25 years ago, girlfriend joined me, became my wife and we have 3 kids. She’s hated Alexandria since 2003 and never lets me forget it. Either move or keep cheerful but don’t complain about it every 72 hours.

[b]Life in your town has gone on without you and your absence has been filled, friends and family have new responsibilities and tighter social circles, your return to Pottersville may not be what you were expecting. [/b]
What you may really be missing is being childless and 27. [/quote]

This is completely dismissive of your wife's experience and feelings.[/quote]
Disagree. Previous poster is spot on. Move if your current situation is terrible but not because you have some idealized image of the town you grew up in and things would be like they were before. There is just no going back to there.[/quote]

But the PP doesn't say his wife wants to move back to her hometown. He says she has hated living in Alexandria for the last 20 years. And, presumably, he won't move. That's not about idealizing where she's from. It's about being miserable in a place but being stuck there because her partner in marriage and parenting won't even consider moving somewhere else (even somewhere that isn't where she's from).[/quote]
