Moving back to KS

So. I moved down to Florida in Dec 2020. Now me and my husband (married in June 2021) and our 9m old are moving to KS. My husband is from Massachusetts. I dread moving back to Kansas in general but my husband has been making me resent moving with him back up to Kansas. But we have to. He isn't doing anything to help get us out of my moms place. And now we have a baby together. It took him 3 years of job hopping to get us no where. It took me 4 days to get us somewhere. We have support in kansas. Real support. His family won't visit and don't want to make plans for us to come up and visit. Even with new baby. But my family want to build bonds together and meet husband and baby. They have multiple job offers already for my husband in exactly what he's wanting. We have a place already to be in when we get up there. But my husband. He has been picking fights with me. And I get it. He doesn't want to be in Kansas. Neither do I. I have anxiety even thinking about being back up there. I have had nothing but bad experiences in Kansas from birth until I left at 18 on my own in 2014. Idk how to make my husbands life any easier or make him any more happy at this point. He literally doesn't have to apply anywhere. He has immediate jobs there for him to pick which ever one and to start anytime. He knows even with just me working he can even take a couple weeks to adjust to being in a completely different state. And we have our place for 6 months. I only did 6 months to give us time to adjust and find a different place to live. Cuz like I said and I keep telling him, I do not want to be in Kansas. So I'm still even looking at other places for us to go. But I also do NOT want to be in Massachusetts either because like I said, very lack of support from his family. And the way my husband has been with me even since before baby, I am not comfortable moving with him to a state where I would be completely alone. Idk. Just venting thoughts. You can share yours as well.

What part of Kansas are you moving to? We moved here from Florida almost 3 years ago I was also really resisting at first. The cost of living and being able to stay home with my baby was the only reason I even considered it. Maybe try showing him things he could do in the area that he likes, it might help.

I've already sent him links to some stuff. Even pointed out the bed motorcycle and car shows happen at century 2. And everything is essentially free. If not free then very low cost at least.

We will be in 67218 zip

On Kellogg near friends university

I recently moved to Wichita with my husband from DC. It has been the most difficult decision I’ve made. Please, listen to your husband, don’t force him to move to a place where he doesn’t want to be. My husband originally from the area and all his family are here. I’m in the same position as your husband, it has been more than 8 months, I have been having fights with my husband so many times since we moved here cause I’m not adjusting to the culture here at all. I do agree Kansas is a great state to raise kids and there are so many affordable options for activities. I haven’t made any friends yet, it seems difficult to make friends in the city because I could be wrong but local people seem to judge you based on where you live in the city. We live close to drive in movies in south city.
