My wife is pro-2A and a GOAL Family Member. She is not into guns and has no desire to shoot or carry. I don't get much flack in that respect.
This is not the place for relationship advice. I don't know if there is going to be a happy ending here or not. I suppose at this late date, a move to NH is out of the question or just not practical.
Remembering that concealed means concealed, maybe a "J" frame S&W in a pocket holster is the best answer...and yes sometimes it's best not to share everything, of course how long you can keep up carrying concealed without her knowledge may be problematical, but then discretion is the better part of valor, it's like people who have affairs, not everybody gets caught, just the careless and the stupid,.
Perhaps you can both maintain the fiction that you don't carry, especially if you carry the j frame. Afterall, it is the choice of 1950's TV and movie detectives and really isn't that intimidating looking. Take Michael de Bethencourt's snub nose revolver class and you are set. A Ruger P85 is a pretty intimidating looking chunk of hardware. It's just this teeny, itsy,itsy revolver after all. If not that, then get something really small before you move here, even a .25 ACP (which might be hard to come by here) which is better than nothing at all to carry and be discrete, very, very discrete.
In the end, this carry thing, could be a deal breaker, but unlike other states, Mass is not a community property state and you might end up getting a nice alimony check every month if there is a real disparity in income. Ask around about good divorce lawyers here in Mass and keep the number in your speed dial. I'm not joking here at all.
