[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm absolutely in the same boat. After college, my XH and I agreed that we would move to CA, because I have family there. While I was in grad school, he got a job in the DC area and said it would only be for a few years. Well 15+ years later, we never left, and then he cheated. So I'm trapped and isolated here until my youngest graduates HS.

My other half of the family lives in a red state, but I would still move back even if the politics are complicated. [b]The problem I find with this area is that everyone is so high strung. From work to schools to traffic to Costco. It's the same tension all over.[/b]

Are there parts of our country not like this? [/quote]

You truly need to get out more.  This is why people think the locals are judgey. Since you asked. [/quote]
I live 2k miles away from DMV, I have traveled the country and haven't felt a slower pace in a decent sized town, outside of travels abroad. That's why I asked.[/quote]

Sounds like you’re the problem [/quote]
I think so but not exactly how you're thinking. Just because it's a great place for some doesn't mean it's a great place for me. Ever travel to an area or visit a neighborhood and feel completely disconnected to the vibe? 
There are also new places where I've felt completely at home but it's foreign and strange to my kids who become suddenly critical.[/quote]
