Currently there? Daytime job? Night time job? Hobbies? Do can cover an awful lot.
Different experiences butting heads there and then, safe to say protective friends coming into play with that whole few people angry? Granted, with this place and how it's been... I mean, I'm the last one to preach against diving head first into a situation without checking the water, but being on the safe side of things is, well, safer. Even if it's being locked up when you're 100% certain you'll be ok.
I'd say your priorities are a bit better. Because, yeah, that stinks. And the whole wife thing is both future you's problem, right? Or did I miss the incredibly awkward of her coming in from that book and, sheesh, no, ok, that would just be not cool whoever is scooping us up and bringing us here and however that works.
