it seems relocating would help with money, which would relieve some stress. why is your wife not willing to relocate?

Because "our county is the best county" and "I don't want to"

Perhaps present her with alternatives, such as you working part-time to preserve your sanity, at the cost of lowering the family's standard of living?

I've already tired to get her to pay some of the bills. You would think that if you're making 30% of the family's income then it would be fair to pay 20% of the bills. She won't pay any. She spends as much on her horse hobby every month as I do on the mortgage.

I'm screwed.
