[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not leave this area if you think divorce is a possibility. For exactly the reason you stated.

I’m the stuck spouse in this scenario but I’m not thinking of divorce. I’ve just made my sad peace with my dated 1992 colonial on a postage stamp lot surrounded by hyper competitive people. I’ve basically become a hermit.[/quote]

I wish we could have a club pp! I'm also the stuck spouse, except in a 1970s fixer upper we bought to have a 1/2 an acre.

Therapy has helped. We also lived in a rural area for about five years, which was great in many ways but also has some real downsides (subpar healthcare, dislike of "outsiders," limited career options, school funding isn't as important in some areas, etc.)

I remind myself of these things and the good things about DC metro living (available healthcare, museums, organic food, etc) every time I force myself out of my own hermit house to live among the hyper competitive.

Maybe you and dh need to talk about what he wants from living in a rural area, and see how much of that could be done here. Rural life is not all bliss and there are some definite downsides.

It's why we bought a house with as much land in the DC area as we could afford, in a place without an HOA, for example. [/quote]
