Scenario

When couples struggle with lifestyle sacrifices made for effective altruism

My partner and I moved to a lower-cost area specifically to maximize our donation capacity, but the isolation is affecting our relationship and we're not sure if our utilitarian logic about geographic arbitrage is worth the personal cost. We planned this together but haven't talked about whether the sacrifice is sustainable or if we're just performing EA virtue.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are questioning whether their moral commitments are compatible with their relational needs.
