"Nearly 18 years ago, my husband moved to my state to marry me. About two years ago, we moved to be closer to my husband's family. My income goes much further here, and I've become the breadwinner, while my husband works a lower earning job for his family's business."
"I hate raising teens here, the culture doesn't mesh for me, and I'm politically isolated. My entire career is about working with the public and I'm burned out on this particular public."
"I want to stay married, but I want to stay sane even more than that, which means leaving my job."
