That's actually one thing I really like about living in a Northern Rural area. The rural attitude of 'live and let live' and 'leave me the fuck alone' carries over to relationships and home life. Nobody really cares about my relationship with my partner, as long as I'm willing to leave them the fuck alone.
I say 'northern' rural area, just because I've never lived in a rural area in the south of the US.

It's more that I'd prefer to support schools and social programs, and have those open to me as best as possible, than get away from it all. I've been in a spot where if it wasn't for the ACA I'd be dead (specifically extension of parents insurance until child is 26) and if I didn't have strong local schools growing up I probably wouldn't have gone far. We do better when we work together and pool resources for all, including the next generation. It's hard for me to be a part of that by moving somewhere rural. And I can't bring myself to move to a red state unless it's flipping purple and willing to basically pull a Virginia. The social rights differences between colors is serious and unfortunate.
