It looks so romantic and idyllic to visitors, but people kill themselves accidentally or in purpose, on the regular. Not in the least because many women hate it out here and run away to the town, as soon as the kids are old enough.

I have remote work and Nostr and church, to keep me sane. 🙏🏻

Everyone thinks about "where to raise kids" and ignores the "where to house your wife" aspect, but that's the aspect that dominates the majority of your life together.
