Dear Orchid24:

To better understand your situation, I am asking:

Did you tell your husband how the desert makes you feel, how you don’t like it? Did you tell him at the beginning of the 8 years? Throughout the 8 years? When was the last time you told him… and how clearly? Did you express it to him as clearly as you did in this thread?

And what were his responses?

Were there follow up discussions about this? Let’s say, you trying to like it there somehow, making friends and seeing how that goes, and he asking you if you feel better about the place… ongoing discussion on this in these 8 years?
