I met my husband when I was in college. He was visiting his cousin in Brooklyn. We dated for a while and when we got married, he moved here but he's never really enjoyed living here.
I've only been to the South with him to visit his family for holidays occassionally and whereas it's nice, I wouldn't want to live there.
We have two kids now and he keeps leaning on me to move our family to the South where he thinks we'll have a better life. I'm a New Yorker, always have been. I love New York and I love the feeling being a New Yorker in New York gives me. I don't think life would be so much better in the South and to be honest, the way I feel right now, I just want to scream no, no, no at him when he brings it up.
He's even started asking out kids questions like, wouldn't you like to have a big backyard and a dog and be able to play outside? To which I don't say much but I think is really low for him to do. I'm beginning to resent this whole thing and it's changing our relationship. I'm a New Yorker. I dn't have a problem with the South, I just don't want to move there.
I know you're from the South so please don't thinkI'm saying anything bad about it area, I just prefer New York.
