My concern is, what kind of wife would put herself above your having a satisfied life. The kind that are tied to Momma's apron strings...those binds won't be broken. I fought that battle with a GF long ago. Looking back, glad that relationship fell thru.

anywhere but SD I'd say. you guys don't want to live here with our long seasons and liberal bag limits. They should make the bag limits less liberal...so I can get a tag.  Sounds like they will be cutting many tag numbers in the next round...

I guess you kinda nailed it down right about there, DW.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

Dude I live in Cali too, if you've got a good woman don't screw it up. Quite focusing on the negative stuff and make the most of it where your at. Try and spend some more time out of state during hunting season. I lived in Idaho for several years but it was harder to make a living, had to work all the time. Now I live here and work less and can afford to spend more time hunting in Idaho than I did when I lived there.

Hey Sal, just where are you located that is causing all this frustration? Cause I can relate to the trash in some areas.

Seems to me Sal Ca. aside, you have a pretty nice life, better than most.
Try to not see the mess of Ca. and try to see all the good things in your life. California sounds like a hell of a place to be an outlaw. Maybe it's just time for an ethics adjustment. My sentiments exactly Lt . What can you do when the government is lawless.... But CYA and have somebody watch your back.

Even in my little remote town in AK the liberals are starting to gain numbers. Idiots all over the place around here. Grass isn't always greener....
If you have the ability to get in a vehicle and drive to other areas, consider yourself lucky.

I had no problem divorcing mine when she wanted to run back down to L48.
Guess what? I wake up every day generally happier with my life than she does hers.

You don't have to tie yourself to notions of 'force' or 'divorce'.
Just follow your dreams. Maybe your wife will follow. Maybe not. Maybe some time apart will give one or both of you some needed perspective.
Lots of relationships are tested when the child raising is over.

Whoever brings home the bacon determines where the bacon is taken.
I figure the squaws didnt feel too happy about having to break down the teepee and load it up for a move, but since she didnt bring in the buffalo the hunter dictated when and where to go. 50/50 on the bacon. Deal breaker is that we live in the house that her deceased brother built. I lose...  Sal, where would you want to move to that would at least be close enough to what you have now? Get two sheets of paper out and on one list the positives and on the other the negatives. I'm in Illinois, near Chicago and I would move in a minute. Except for an out of work, going to school, live at home son and my daughter and my three grandchildren nearby. Plus... Wife has more than a few years left before she can retire. _________ I would probably trade places with you and feel I'm getting the better of the deal

I've tried to add something to what's been said, but you've been given three or four very good suggestions and sentiments. I guess you need to ask yourself if you love her or yourself more.
Can't imagine this situation could get any more trying for you. Tough spot to be in and I'm very sorry for you.

The trouble with not going to follow your dreams is that you will be unhappy.
Consciously or subconsciously you will begin to blame your wife for your unhappiness. Maybe not in words, but she will feel it loud and clear.
Then the whole camp is unhappy. How is that going to be a good situation for anybody involved.

Sal I am a fifth generation Californian. I moved from the Sacramento Valley to northeastern Cal about six years ago. I left a ranch that I was third generation on because there were just to many damn people. I don't like what California has become, hell I don't like what the US has become. If we could just get rid of all the people in the major cities this would be a great place again. Most of these libs are not over second generation, they all came from somewhere else. As Ltppowell said become an outlaw. I know I will be a criminal before it is over.
If you love your wife, make it work, if you don't then leave. ED

Sal, Have you and your wife watched this yet? ![[Linked Image]](http://www.thedatingdivas.com/wp-content/uploads/kiirsten-BecomingFireproof1.jpg) Don't do it. It was backed by public employees unions.
