...let me add the following,
Disillusioned with getting j**ked around, he looks beyond the middle of nowhere for a solution to all that bothers him about this place. Something to save them from becoming something less than what they were before they got here. The time has come to move beyond those who look at the middle of nowhere through rose coloured glasses with a glass of denial in their hands.
He begins to realize, he hasn't excaped a single thing only moved to a new prison. Groundhog day indeed. He resigns and is greeted when he gets back to that subsidized housing in the middle of nowhere with tears of anger and shouts of outrage that now their soft life and good times are dead. It's your fault.
She doesn't want to go back to the land of debt and taxes to a thankless job that will consign her to a life of boredom in a world surrounded by those who couldn't begin to understand her constant complaining.
What of their original purpose to make a new life and find riches they never imagined back home? The life of leisure in the land called the middle of nowhere?
You have no idea what it's like to return to reality and neither do your colleagues. But let me tell you, if you think the middle of nowhere sucks, just wait till you come back to reality. The middle of nowhere ain't so bad. Make your adjustments there and you may find life improves.
best of luck,
Willie
