I'm a French teacher, my husband's a sports writer. We just bought a house last year near both of our jobs. I like my job a lot and it pays well (for a teacher anyway). I love where we live both because we've done a lot of work on our house and I like it a lot AND because we live near where we grew up (so lots of friends and family nearby). My husband HATES his job. The problem is, we both have fairly specific job fields and his tends to have very few openings. He's currently applying for a new sports writing job in other cities, but I don't want to move across the country b/c I like my job (who knows if I'd find another full time French job somewhere else) and where we are (we want to have kids soon and when we do, I want my mom nearby). On the otherhand, I hate feeling like I'm holding him back (which he never would say that I am, but I'm his reason for staying where he is... so I AM!)! Suggestions on what to do? I don't want to leave, but I hate seeing him so unhappy!!
