Really, I don’t have a problem with option number 2 if we can relocate to a lower COL state. But her list of states she will consider is vanishingly small. She found a job in my home state, which would be near my family and have a low COL, but it is too cold and high tax for her tastes. She wants to live someplace warm, with no or low state income taxes, that has lots of jobs for her that pay well and do not require call/weekends. Texas is too humid and expensive (in the few parts she would consider living, like Austin) and far from her family. Florida has a shitty job market and is filled with trashy people - requiring an expensive house to avoid them. Colorado is too cold and she doesn’t know anyone there. So basically she wants to move to someplace like Chattanooga and I guess I am supposed to open a small business or be a SAHD.

When they're not working, they're finding themselves, empowered, etc. If you're without a job for a day and spend ten minutes playing video game, you're Peter Pan.

my wife has all but given up her "real" job to pursue poetry and art. then she complains about how poor we are.

At least she's not a psycho like Thunder Collins' wife. She's a good mom and we really never fight at all.

Men value hot chicks who like to fuck and who procreate.

We'd all be better off if we accepted what the other sex wants.

There's a difference between being in a stable middle class community vs being in a violent crime-ridden neighborhood or one filled with meth-addled trash.

You can certainly do the former, and given their potential income it will be pretty low COL to them

The nice thing is that women are naturally better at not freaking out over being at home all day. It doesn't feel like it, but your bigger risk here, empirically -- assuming you're not a huge pussy who lets his wife make shitty life-altering decisions for both of you at the drop of a hat -- is that she settles in and decides to be a SAHM. As much as I used to want a SAHM (I had one growing up), I really really like the extra income coming in from my wife.

You can’t reason with crazy and he’s chosen to stick it out supposedly for the sake of his daughter when it’s really because he’s a giant pussy who can’t take short term pain to get his daughter to a better place long term.

She has a much stronger will than you - eventually she will get her way (which is to not work) and she'll likely pop out another baby at some point

Getting a house on Lookout Mountain would be 180

Also an hour and a half (or less) from ATlanta and Nashville and Knoxville and Asheville.

As an xo NON-RACIST, I do not attribute this in any way to anything over than insufficiently shitlib education policies, but I will leave this here for you (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chattanooga,_Tennessee#Demographics) and note that Chat's demographics are not those of stereotypical eastern TN.

NEWSFLASH: She's not going to work and if she does, it will be for a brief moment. If you have another kid, she will NEVER work again.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3959425&forum_id=2#35919272)

only 'married" because she got accidentally preggers after like one year of dating, LJL

She won't work. You will bear the burden, accidentally get her pregnant (or maybe she will intentionally get pregnant again and use the second kid as an excuse to never work again). After she has her second baby, she will get fat and ugly (yet she will become more and more obsessed with maintaining her looks and pursue plastic surgery, etc.). You guys will move to flyover at some point, where she bitch and complain about your job not paying enough. At some point, you will likely want to cheat on her and maybe will - if she ever finds out she will either kill you or make your life a living hell for the rest of your life. The older she gets, the more controlling she'll get.

Also, at least 1 out of 2 of your kids will also have BPD.

Within a few years you will fall completely out of love with her, she will be ugly and won't make any money, and become more and more controlling and you'll wonder why you didn't listen to our advice in the first place. But at that point you will feel stuck and you will never leave her. Instead, you will die on your death bed wondering "what if", staring at the fat, ugly woman who controlled you for your entire life and who will outlive you for many years.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3959425&forum_id=2#35919288)

What you missed though is that she will cheat on him, guaranteed. The more controlling she becomes, the more disgusting and unattractive he becomes. He becomes the small-souled bugman, a repulsive little creature in her eyes. Eventually either she or an ex-bf or fling from college will reach out to her to see how she's doing and to "catch up" on old times. They will hook up and she will confide into her old-new lover what a detestable little creature Thunder Cuck is. Thunder Cuck will find out and raise a stink, but if there's one thing about irrational and nutty shrews (like his wife) it's that they are incredible negotiators. He'll up his anger and she'll match it and then some with her nuttiness and irrationality, bringing Thunder Cuck back into her spell. It will be his fault, she explains, because *he* no longer creates passion in her anymore and he's become an unattractive weakling in her eyes, no matter how much he tells her he works out.
