[quote=Anonymous]OP, here's the hard truth: there's no way you're going to be able to live anywhere south of Baltimore if you want to make this work. Others have alluded about the terrible traffic from DC to Newark. While taking the MARC from DC to Perryville and keeping a beater car at the station to drive to Newark, the timing of the MARC trains aren't ideal, as there is only one train in the AM that goes from Union Station to Perryville, and it leaves at 6:10 AM. The afternoon schedule is even worse, as the only train from Perryville to DC leaves Perryville at 2:35 PM.

So, here are your best options:

- Live somewhere north of Baltimore with easy access to a MARC station. Aberdeen is likely your best option, but the only issue is that the DC bound trains leave at 6:38 am, and the next one doesn't depart until 8:30 am.

- Live closer to DC, and have your husband live in a studio apartment in Newark during the week. TBH, this is probably the best option from a financial standpoint, as you'd save a ton of money on gas/tolls/car wear and tear, but again, might not be the best option from a marriage POV.

- Move closer to Newark, and try to get a job in that area.[/quote]
