Thanks for the advice, that's actually really helpful. So true that we need to work out what we really want. We might end up with a hybrid type of living. Potentially somewhere in a smaller town with a big enough section for me to have the garden and space, but somewhere near enough to a good job too. He's a city boy and I'm a country girl so we will probably end up somewhere in between the two!

I agree that it's insane the way he's living now. He's been doing this commute for almost 3 years now. He's definitely ready for a change.
