[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in DC for the past ten years and loved it. About eight months ago my SO and I relocated to South Florida. My SO is from the area and wanted to move back to be close to family and for a new career opportunity.

I've tried to enjoy it but I'm really unhappy.

The weather is terrible: hot and humid and swampy 24/7. I love the change of seasons and this endless summer is killing me.

It's tough to meet people that we actually have much in common with. Sure, we have a few friends here, but the conversation is just... stupid. Florida gets a bad reputation for dumb/weird people and it's definitely blown out of proportion, but there's some truth to it. The people in DC just seem smarter -- not a huge surprise given the concentration of good jobs there and the concentration of bartender jobs here.

If you're not into clubbing, beaches, or fishing, there's not much to do here. DC has its many problems, but we were rarely bored.

The thought of spending the rest of my life here is depressing but my SO won't move again. Anyone ever been in a similar situation?[/quote]

Same situation, but not south Florida. I hate it here. All I want is to go back to DC. There are no jobs in my field here. I did this for my spouse with the understanding that after 1 year we would reevaluate; he swears he never agreed to that. We're in counseling because this move has destroyed my metal health and my marriage.[/quote]
