We moved to a city both of us hate for my husband’s job about 4 years ago. Want to move asap before our son starts school. Husband has been applying for jobs elsewhere — which seem well within his reach, salary, experience, etc - and got another rejection today. He’s in a field that has seasonal hiring patterns, and this year’s almost closed. He feels like he let me down, I feel horrible for putting pressure on him. Advice for being supportive when I’m crushed we’re stuck here another year?

Try to find fun around you. Focus on the “home” time. Maybe start weekly traditions like game night, movie night, homemade pizza night. Maybe a calendar with small goals / plans will help? I feel for ya. I don’t love my town… :(

This may seem like a small thing but travel. Whether using your current place as a jumping off point and going to spots within your radius or going further. If you don't have PTO or don't want to spend much, do weekend getaways to far flung family or friends. I live in a small city and travel makes my life so much richer.

Is there an opportunity to compromise on where you live? Could you move a little further out? Closer to a neighborhood that would benefit you all?

Good call on the Y. We should make an effort to get more plugged in to something, especially given how isolated we’ve been the past few years
