I’ve lived here for 15 years and I’m pretty exhausted. I’ve lived in cities and multi generational households my whole life. I want to move to the suburbs but my spouse does not. I’m willing to stay in a place they are happy but I need to find ways to keep myself happy as well. I love it here too in a lot of ways, so I would still mourn if we left. But I think they would be miserable.

I’m exhausted by the pressure to keep my high paying but stressful job (in an industry recently experiencing layoffs). I want more space for our kids so we don’t feel like we’re on top of each other all the time or that the space is a mess from clutfer. I want a yard for our dog. I want to be done schlepping groceries in the elements.

I want the day to day to just be easy for once?

This has to be a common feeling among people who’ve been city living forever. How did you make it through and learn how to love the city again?
