Dear Pepper is an advice-column comic by Liana Finck. If you have questions for Pepper about how to act in difficult situations, please direct them to dearpepperquestions@gmail.com. Dear Pepper,I am seven months postpartum and have driven myself and my husband into a state of insanity over choosing between potential life paths. For years, I was our breadwinner, with a successful, if sometimes slightly lame, career, while he pursued an academic job. I was not particularly happy with the state of things—the work was isolating and unfulfilling, and we both missed the big city.
