Hello,I've been suffering lately. And feeling rather frustrated and demoralized by it.It comes largely from pain from various injuries: a shoulder injury, RSI, bad knees. Some were the result of poor judgement. Others just bad luck. I also have tinnitus from a firecracker that went off by my head when I was 17 (we can heap that one into the "bad judgement" pile).I'm in my mid-30s, but feel like...

I asked this same question a week ago[1]. I got lots of really great perspectives which I very much appreciated. Overwhelmingly, people suggested we move to Bavaria. A couple of responders pointed out (I think rightfully) that the answers may have be skewed slightly due to my having posted around 2pm CET. Most of CA was still waking up.I'd like to ask one last time in a more CA-friendly time....
If it weren't for her parents, she said she would push for the US. For all its problems, she likes how friendly and open people are. She often complains when interacting with other Germans about how unnecessarily unfriendly and closed off they can be.

I've always enjoyed myself in Germany, but my German is rudimentarily (I'm taking classes now to fix that) and I've never actually lived there, so I don't think I can rely on my experience as a visiting foreigner to my experience as an immigrant.
I'm at a crossroads in my life. My wife and I are trying to figure out if we should move back to California or move to Germany to be closer to her parents.A bit of background: We're in our mid-30s. Both in tech. I'm a software engineer. She's a product manager. I'm American and she's German. We met in SF in 2014 and left together in 2017. We traveled for a while, then moved to Amsterdam where...
