Well we had to move for his education. The school he applied for in our home state ended up putting him on the waitlist and it was the only program in the state. Therefore he had to go to his backup in another state and we both agreed to move there. However, I thought we would move back when he finished his doctorate but now he never wants to go back.
When I bring up moving an hour away he makes excuses- they have bad job opportunities, they're expensive, its still too close to my family. The city we lived at before we moved was an hour and a half away from my family and I know for a fact he likes it more than where we live now but he wouldn't live there because its too close to my family (plus they really have a poor job market). I am frustrated by his stubbornness. His philosophy is- we tried living by your family once and it went horribly so why try again.
