ha. but i would not be miserable if he lived in the city and i lived at the 
land. that's not to say we won't eventually grow apart if we do that, but 
that's not to say it won't work to both of our advantages either. we gave it 
a trial run last year before building really got good and started on the 
house. he stayed in LA a lot and I stayed up here a lot. Now, if one of us 
had the desire to meet someone else closer aligned with our lives, then that 
might become an issue. But right now, that's not part of the discussion. We 
just both want to live somewhere else but neither want a divorce, but living 
separately certainly wouldn't work if I weren't the kind of woman I am. I am 
fine out here alone, but many would not be. As long as he comes home to make 
repairs when I can't do them, I won't need to find another man who will.

 Guys, educate me on this.  I have never known of a couple who went into
 homesteading where one was a devotee and the other indulged it for the sake 
of the
 relationship that did not end badly.  Either the people split up or else they
 return to the urban life with the ex-homesteader miserable.
