my vote is go to CT!! Thats what I would do. Join groups and make friends. I'd love to leave NY.
it could be a new beginning and you might even really end up loving it.
plus if you have kids there... you could easy get into a lot of mommy and me type of groups and network some friendships that way.
Ok I am voting CT now too! I am in DC & pregnant, and it is not that bad. Sometimes I get home sick but I am 5 hours away. You could make friends w/ the wives that DH works with that live in CT. The only friends I have right now are DH's co-workers wives. One of them is awesome, and we have become really close. Also I have made friends w/ some of my neighbors. I think it would be better for you & DH to be together.

totally agree..
Yes you have a house you love but youre not with the man you love ...
to me, its a no brainer! You will make friends and CT is not that far from LI!
By the way, you girls were a huge help. Sorry if I seem argumentative, its just a lot going on in my head.

I'm voting move to CT...I know your DH wants to open his own marina/boat buisness, but that industry is really difficult (people tend to have their 'guy') and its also heavily based on the economy (if the economy is bad, no one buys/uses their boats, your DHs business doesn't profit) there are few marinas/boat businesses now, its almost like a monopoly.
He has a job now, and maybe it would be easier for you to get a job in CT. Maybe go and stay a long weekend and check out some houses.
Where is your house on LI? Me and DH live on the water now, and would love to buy a house on the water.

Thats the one thing about being here, its the one industry my parents are really connected in, (see my wedding pics and the big beautiful Sea Ray we came in on.) Another friend has been helping DH a lot with getting deals on parts and he has quite the garage business going on when he has the time to do it, which doesn't seem to be often (between his CT job, running his dad's business in NJ, dealing with his dad's brain issues, and working on our house.) A lot of people go to him because he is talented and reliable. But he is to busy trying to help run FIL's business and commuting to do it. It's a catch-22, he had more time to do it in CT, but no customers. Here there are TONS of people wanting him to rebuild their motors, but no time. But your right, its VERY economy based, especially if he wants to have his own actual shop as a full time business.
Do you guys boat? We are always looking for people to boat with, if we are still here this summer.
My parents live on the water so we keep our boat there. We are about 8 minutes from them in East Islip.

We are in East Islip so we go to Fire Island all the time, Flynns is our favorite. It's $50 to dock there but they give you a food pass for it. But DH sometimes goes out on Wednesdays (when he is home) with a group in Nassau from Scream and Fly... (fast boats). We love boating over there, much better for small boats like DH's hydro-stream.
If we are here, which I doubt we will make a move between now and summer, since summer is why we live here, we will totally need to meet up. His parents have a house in Seaside Park, NJ, so we alternate our weekends between here and there all summer.
Oh and if your DH has an outboard and needs someone to fix it... he can give DH a call. DH has been rebuilding motors since he was 7, he is pretty incredible at it. Had one complaint in the hundreds of rebuilds he has done since I started dating him 9 years ago. (Crotchety old man.)
