If I'm the only one working, shouldn't I get to decide where we live?

Asked by furious_rose (476points) June 19th, 2018

My husband hasn’t had a job for pretty much the entire time we have been married. I work part time from home as a medical transcriptionist, and I bring in about $500 every two weeks (yes, I am extremely poor). If we didn’t get food stamps and Medi-Cal, we would probably be homeless.

Anyway, since I am the sole breadwinner in our marriage, I think I should be able to decide where we put down roots. He wants to stay in CA, but I don’t like it here. I mean, damn, I’m going to be paying all the bills!

How could we solve this problem? Am I being greedy and shortsighted ?
