My husband and I have just returned from a driving trip in the Southwest. Several days ago, he was standing in a fast-food line when another man started a conversation with him. When the man asked, “where is home for you?” My husband responded by saying “Los Angeles.” The other man said, “I’m so sorry for you.”
There are many places that I would not want to live but I would never mention that if I was in a conversation with a person from one of those places. How did our nation become so rude and who thinks it is all right to insult someone’s home? Please advise me on a polite response to this situation should it come up again .I agree; L.A. is great.
I stepped into my career and became more financially stable, but he chose to turn down promotion opportunities to pursue his passion. That left me carrying more of the financial responsibility that we initially agreed to split 50/50. Now we have moved away from home and family to live in an area with a lower cost of living so that we could be on more even ground financially.
But your best path forward is forward. I’m struck by your ability to recognize your own growth and the lessons you get to take from this relationship. Broncos QB Bo Nix torches Falcons, kicks rookie of the year campaign into high gear: “It’s clear he belongs here”
