Hey, an odd question, but... 2 years ago, my husband got a job with a different company and we moved to a new city. My problem is that I'm just not happy here. We've moved several times in the past and I've been fine. I just find that I'm not liking the people I meet and find it hard to find group activities, etc. He has a good job, and we have a nice home, but do I have the right to just ask him to find a new job so we can move? I'm a housewife with no kids, but always had a full plate of activities before, just don't understand why the heck I hate it here. thanks for opinions

No I wouldn't ask him to quit his job to move to another place your not guaranteed over there that you will be happy either. Make it your mission to plant yourself here. and try new things. You can join clubs to meet people. gym's social gatherings. If you still dont' like any of them. Try helping out the needy in your community, or animal wild life. animals will love and need all who can help them out.
Be a volunteer in things you enjoy helping out in.
Keep your chin up. eventually you'll meet someone nice but for now don't let that hinder you from enjoying your new home. Get out there and do your own things.

I had the same problem a few years ago, my husbands company moved us to Colorado, and I just so happen to hate the snow. I just grin and bared it for five years. Therefore, I started to be in to crafts, church, learned, and about life in Colorado, and where to go. We took short travels to places near by that pretty much got me though it. The last thing you want to do is give your husband a hard time God puts us in places that we just cannot understand but it does become known later on just trust in God he knows what he is doing better then we know our selves.

Have you given the city a fair chance or were you just so upset from leaving your last situation that you never got a true introduction to your new city?
Go to your city's visitor's bureau to find out neat things to do in your new city. Do things that you enjoy doing and you'll probably find friends there that share your interests.

Why don't you get a job so you can get out there and meet people. I can't imagine staying home when there are no children to look after. I would be unhappy too!

I would talk with him about it. It is always good to talk about things like this in your marriage. He shouldn't take any offense to it but just let him know your concerns and ask him what he thinks is the best option. You never know...he might see it your way.

Tell your husband how you feel. Although, I know what my reaction would be if I had a good thing going career-wise and my wife whined to me that she didn't have any friends and was lonely sitting on her butt all day at home...
I could understand if you had kids to care for, but... WTF?! Get off your @ss and get a job!
