Search Results: love and stability in her life

My wife and I have been struggling financially for a while, which led us to move every year, trying to save money and make ends meet in our hometown. Eventually, we decided to leave the state and move to Florida, where the cost of living was more affordable. However, I can’t stand it here. The humidity, poor infrastructure, hurricanes, traffic, mosquitoes, flat terrain, and lack of outdoor activities really get to me. I’m an outdoorsy person who loves hiking, cycling, and just being outside, and Florida just doesn’t offer the lifestyle I enjoy.

Now that my wife is pregnant, I’ve been thinking about moving to Colorado. It’s similar in cost to Florida but offers so much more in terms of outdoor activities and scenery. Unfortunately, every time I bring it up, my wife gets upset. She’s exhausted from all the moving we’ve done over the years and wants stability. Her mom lives here in Florida, but she doesn’t really go out much and would even charge us for any help with the baby.

I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I’m sinking into depression and hopelessness after living this way for nearly four years. I’m about to finish grad school, and our income will improve significantly, which will get us in a better neighborhood in FL or CO, but I’m struggling to see a way forward that works for both of us.
