I'm asking for advice from anyone who has gone through a situation like this and can offer any advice. So about a year ago my wife and I moved from our home state of California to Montana. We both wanted to experience something new and exciting and be somewhere I could finish college, not to mention that Montana is a beautiful state. We are very avid hunters and fishers so moving to Montana has literally been a dream come true. My wife loves it here too, since she is from a small mountain town back in California. However I'm making some career decisions and am finding that going to school is really not necessary. But the longer we live here, my wife gets more homesick, despite how much she enjoys living here and being with the new friends we have made. I don't get homesick, I miss and love our family but I love living in Montana too. We have been talking about starting a family and with this has also come the dreaded talk of moving back to California to be closer to family. I will put it bluntly... I HATE CALIFORNIA. The state government is always breathing down your neck, there are restrictions on everything, the weather where we are from is blazing hot for about 6 months out of the year, the people are not as friendly, its overcrowded, its expensive, and the hunting and fishing is not good. The only 2 benefits of moving back are being close to family and I could still get a job there in my line of work. I'm not happy about the thought of moving back to California and neither is my wife, but she wants to be near our family when we have kids. And there is little or no chance that any of our family would be moving out here since both of our families still have about 12 years before they can retire. I feel if we move back that I will be bitter and resentful and that I will always be thinking about Montana. I'm almost getting to a point where I wish we never moved here at all because now I hate California even more now that I live here; I know a part of me will die, if we end up leaving. I think I'm getting the short end of the deal in this whole situation because everybody wants to be back in California except me. I need prayer and advice because my heart is turning very bitter towards this situation. Thanks and God Bless
