Move to the parts where it isn't (Austin, Houston).
I’m in Austin, TX. I’ve lived on two continents, three countries, ten US states. This region of the world is by far the worst place I’ve ever lived... fellas, I lived in a third world country and Texas is worse. It’s dystopian. You can’t go outside. It’s 100 degrees half the year with high humidity. The air is dirty, polluted, full of allergens. People burn garbage everywhere. There is no wildlife. Trash in the street. Everything is dead, except a few biting insects, there’s no living creatures — not even birds. Dogs chained outside in the heat. Nature is dying, yellow and faded, except for the artificial grass — a rare sign of life (until the water runs out). Houston meanwhile is a gridlocked pile of parking lots and dirty overpasses built on a swamp, so whenever it rains it floods (which is comical — why does anyone live here?). Don’t come. There is no hope.
Then what's stopping your from leaving?
Then it sounds like your one and only job (keeping her happy) is the best fucking job in the state. Ignore the shit around you and grind it out until you both save enough to move away or she promotes into another location.
You’re so right. Thank you! I am doing my best. Thanks for your kind words.
