As a city girl who relocated to the country, I found it hard to adjust to the lack of stimulation, the museums, theater and friends and family. Made the move to raise my children in a more natural environment, more homey and it was a good choice. That being said it took me 4 years to really embrace my new home understand my reasoning completely.
Once in a while I still get home sick for my city home, but I drive down to see friends and family, do the theater, and such. It amazes me that it reconfirms I love the country life!
Perhaps as Nancy suggested a trip back for a month would clear up the reasoning?? Also joining groups where there is interest, gardening, orchid society, astronomy center, volunteering and such would help with isolation issues and entertainment at the same time. What are her hobbies? Take her night kite flying! That would do it for me, but then I'm easy!
Hope this helps Eric, love your posts and am rooting for your new home and such. Good luck.

PS John is quite right though, It is how you live, not where you live that provides contentment, happiness and satisfaction!
