Not at all. I find the OP's complaints very relevant and something to learn
from.
The lesson to be learned might be that if one does work that can only be
found in some locations ... don't buy a house.
I've also had some colleagues in the past who would frequently take jobs far
away and rent an inexpensive apartment in the city where they're working
while the spouse lives in the house in the "base" location.
