Yeah I'm sure Austraila has a much better social safety net than the US. Employers here can fire someone for any reason, and there's not really unemployment assistance to speak of. If I got fired the first thing I would do is freak out about how I'm going to pay the bills and how I'm ever going to find another job. I haven't been able to find a job thus far, being unemployed and trying to find a job would be even worse.

Yeah we've talked about it. My husband doesn't want to move because his family is here. He works in Healthcare so his ability to find a job is much better than mine. It just comes down to him liking his family more than me. I want to move because the job market here sucks and it's not really a great place for a same-sex couples. I have to hide that from people I work with so as far as my coworkers are concered I'm just a single guy with no family, which is probably why they don't care how much work they give me. If it were up to me, I'd move far away and start over in a new city.

I don't have any freinds or anyone else I could talk to about stuff like that, I just keep it to myself and vent sometimes on reddit. I don't really have any other choice.
