Friendship like love come when you least expect them, and you get what you give. Hell some of my better friends I couldn't stand at first. : )
Where in the world are you?
I live in Anchorage, but about 99.99999997 of the other DBers live in the lower 48 and they apparently get together and crap like that.
I could say I live at 1313 Mockingbird lane and not have to worry about a stakler showing up here unless it was a seal. I don't by the way.
No current co-workers or family nearby?
What is keeping you there then? The job? Is it a contract?
On the possibility of a job in the same city as your wife, I will say this. Do NOT screw yourself over trying to please her. She won't appreciate it and you need to be able to provide as well. Being closer to your kids? Man, NOTHING would prevent me from doing that. You do not and I am certainly not suggesting living in the same house, apartment building or even neighborhood...and really you likely wouldn't want too.
But if there is a job there AND its in the same city as your 6 year old boys...her 'inpedendence' would be right above what the horoscope said as a factor in that decision...none at all.
6 years old...man that is the good time to be around. : )
Simply said.
"I got a job in XXXXXXX I'm going to be closer to our boys."
Make it about them and not about her or you. And really she doesn't get a say. But if you do you need to stay away. Seriously.
