Im having a hard time adjusting, recently married

I avoided commenting on most of what you said because it was just so detached from the reality of the situation. But i actually want to respond:

Its rough to just assume i dont know him. Where did you get that from? I feel like everyone has this weird image in their head that they got from a TV show.

Fixing it is not simple. We can't make plans, we are waiting on my application. This means we cant move, we need the same mailing address as on the application to not delay it by more months.

Getting out and about in a new city is tough. People aren't receptive. Being lonely isnt simply solved by going out, its a daunting process and met with a lot of disappointment. Sure its the only way, but you cant simply dismiss that its a serious hurdle in many peoples lives and bring people down a lot.

I can see that in this thread everyone made a whole lot of assumptions from whatever they think immigrants look and live like. Im from a first world country, i had a career, i cant travel mid-process, there are delays at USCIS which keep people from being able to make plans like moving somewhere better and finding a job. I dont need a quick job i need a stable income for a house, frequent travel between 2 families, and retirement.

Joining groups is tough, i mentioned in my post he's not into it. Also, I cant drive anywhere in the week, he has the car at work. Nor can i drive at all, because my international license expired because all this took so long that my license expired. There is a LOT of paperwork around immigration, in several stages. And each submission has a fee and takes time to process. It's been almost 3 years since we decided to come here (to be with his family) and we aren't done. You dont just move to the US and start living it up, it sets your life back by years to relocate for family, especially to countries with ever-increasing regulations and delays because of mass migration.

Im worried... im lonely... i miss nature... i miss my family... i dont like the constant 4 walls and AC its unnatural and a constant reminder that i am stuck for a considerable amount of time.

And im sorry for taking this out on you, youre just kindly responding. But unfortunately it makes it MORE lonely when truly nobody cares to see that you ARE trying and dont need oversimplified advice but rather a listening ear and a chance to let loose of the tension. And if theres advice to give, let it be from someone who actually cared to read what i said and at least knows someone who experienced something similar or has read about it at all.

The whole "this is the life you chose" approach is nuts, as if we dont all face difficult choices and suffer under them. We cant see the future, so our plans dont work out and they change and we, again, struggle with that. We need to not be alone through this, but i am... so then other people are too and i feel really sorry for them because they probably get these responses when they reach out too... and they probably climb right back in their shell because its less alone to be quiet and sad, than to ask for a pat on the back and told you should "just get a job bro" "just move" its like saying "sad? just stop being sad bro" ... or worse: the person who said to just go home if i dont like it.

Thanks if you read this far
