[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You both should look for jobs to see if you can find jobs that let you live in the same place even if it's Kalamazoo. You aren't making enough to support a comfortable commuter lifestyle, with everyone getting together at either place for holidays and breaks, and it will stress the marriage and your kid who will figure out it's all "for her." If she's not a sociopath that will upset her. [/quote] That isn’t happening in any reasonable timelines. We ended up in DC because of the specialized nature of our jobs (not necessarily high paying but niche). We won’t find a similar combo anywhere else, so the trailing spouse will have to quit and start over in a new field likely making radically less money. This is not an exercise in wanderlust — we both go to work everyday wondering if we will get the RIF memo. It’s not like we work for ICE or some other favored agency. Quite the contrary. [/quote]
