It's just 3 months. Before cellphones went mainstream, most people used to travel and simply disappear from their families for years. This need to be in constant communication with everyone back home is a phenomenon that just started in the 2000s

This is an incredibly long time to be away from your family for many people.

Yeah, and before we had antibiotics people would die from simple infections, that doesn’t mean we should “rough it out” or somesuch nonsense.

It's a choice... we all make choices and trade-offs.

If not moving is not right for you, then you that's fine.

Unfortunately there are just too many people willing to jump at the chance for you to matter
