Intro about my friend: My friend always seemed to have a way with women compared to me. I was the one always trying to get women's attention and being chivalrous. He seemed to have the asshol(dont give a fuck) attitude but he was a fair person. He would give as long as he knew he was receiving(Matcher). He never gave more than he received with people or took more than he gave. Probably why I've had an easy great friendship. The guy is fair. And he was usually this way with women, probably why he was more successful in my eyes for years. He always seemed to be the alpha/redpill one. I've known him for 10 years. He never seemed to put up with any girl's crap, always kept a good frame. Kept gf's in line.

To the main point..... He got married a couple years ago, I was the best man. Him and his wife lived in a city of about 1.5 million. He had a great job, and she was finishing up grad school in Psych. After she finished they moved to a small tourist town. Small because there is nothing in this city besides one big tourist attraction. Its her hometown. Her family and friends are there. She got a job working in a local school probably through connections. She probably had zero competition getting the job.

For him, there is zero chance of finding a job in that town. Its too small, less than 50k people. He had to request to "work from home" from his big city job. That only worked for so long, now he is commuting 4 days a week with about 3hrs on the road. Put in a position in his company he hates now. He's working in sales with....women(narcissists). I wasn't surprised he didn't like it. As I said earlier, he is a fair guy, not a narcissist. He's tried looking for jobs in other big cities, but his wife doesn't support it at all or consider moving an option. She could easily get a job in any big city. His career/skillset basically requires a big city. I'm not that surprised. The girl isn't very cultured. The only travel she has ever done is Cancun(with me and him and another girl), Florida, Vegas, and staying in her area. She has no desire to step outside of her comfort zone.

TLDR: Wife makes husband move to a small town, commute 3hrs a day for a job he doesn't care for. Doesn't want to move to a big city away from her family. But a big city would give him opportunity for other better jobs and jobs where he would feel happier. She could easily find a job in a big city as well.

This is my first time making a post in MGTOW, sorry if the quality is shit.
