Let's go ahead and get all the "too early to be this high" posts out of the way. So, yeah get it out of your system.
I want to inquire some of the greatest minds on earth, those of the OT, a question that I'm currently wrestling with. I seek only the wisest advice of the sages here on the OT, so that means no input from SFP please.
If you had the money and the freedom to start again and leave your life, everything behind, would you start again?
I've had a dream from my youngest years to live on the Gulf, a little condo with a simple gas grill out on the porch, grilling fresh fish and charbroiling oysters on the nightly, all while drinking a few ice cold beers from the cooler. However, my spouse is reluctant to move down south due to a number of issues that I will not get into (that I ended up getting into). Say, you've endured the time spent for 10 years in an area that is not home, and you're sick and tired of living in this place..... what would the great minds of the OT do?

You should definitely divorce your wife to go live a dream that most likely won't be remotely close to what you envision.

Okay, let's say that her family lives in the northeast and you are in that shithole of a frickign place, theoretically, because of her family. Let's also say that the humidity is "insufferable" to her. You are the breadwinner, and have the means to do whatever, but don't want to be a total a-hole and say it's my time now.

You’ve asked two specific and unrelated questions

You want to leave your family so you can grill fish in a shack on the Gulf coast?
Well good luck with that

Yes but maybe without the divorce part

You know that thread from the other day about people who go on international vacations who think their vacation life is how people actually live in that area?
This is the American equivalent.

Now we are getting somewhere

You're implying that I would be leaving my family behind.
There is nothing on this Earth more important than my family.
If there was a gun to my head and I had to press one of two buttons - Kill my family or kill the world except my family, I would miss you all very much.

Eh, New Hampshire and Maine seem like they would be nice from April to October
Then move to your winter home in West Palm

Let's just say for the sake of discussion the kids were grown and on their own doing well. Just for the sake of discussion.

I have recently retired and thought about doing exactly that. Trouble is, a hurricane is going to wipe you out every 15 - 20 years and I don’t want to be starting over when I am 80 years old. I think a better option is to buy a condo (or some other place to stay) down there and see if it is all that you think it will be first.

You mean leave your wife/kids to do this?

Buy a vacation home.
Spend time down there together.
Either she comes around or you realize its not as you imagined.
