I'm leaving because I want to spend more time with my wife in Chicago.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I originally wanted to stay in Chicago as long as I could. I love Chicago. I don't love L.A. I don't want to leave Chicago.
Chicago is fun. We've spent a lot of time there, about 15 years. My wife's parents and family live in Chicago, so that's a big selling point.
But when I go to Chicago, I know I'm home.
I have a home in Arizona. I go a couple months a year, but basically Chicago is my home.
While I've lived in L.A. since 1985, I'll always consider Chicago my home town and have much affection for it. My parents and sister still live there so I try to visit as often as I'm able.
I'm a huge fan of Chicago sports and Chicago food, and I love going home and my family is still there. I guess it's pretty easy to have a normal life in Chicago.
Being away from her is torturous and I'd much prefer to be with her. So I just try to get out of here as soon as I can. I make sure I do my job real well and fast.
I leave before being left. I decide.
My wife and I left New York when she got pregnant - we just thought it would be really hard to stay in the city.
It wasn't my intention ever to leave Chicago, that's for sure.
