 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Dear Carolyn: In 2020, my husband and I moved from a state where I was very happy living so that he could take a new job. I had family nearby, a job I loved and a significant network of support. (I am in long-term recovery from addiction, with 10-plus years clean and sober.) Mostly because of the pandemic, my husband works from home and has been to the office fewer times than I can count on two hands. We joke that he hasn't had to wear pants to work for two years now. All joking aside: I'm miserable where we are, a deeply conservative state. I miss my family, job, friends and the purplish area we lived in. And I really resent that we made this move when he continues to work at home. I know we couldn't have predicted a paradigm shift in corporate culture. But is it reasonable for me to ask that if he's not going to go back to the office, we move "back home?" I shared my frustration with him once but stopped short of asking or giving him any sort of ultimatum — which I would never do. — Sullen in the South |
