We would honestly live within our means if he made that much starting out, the benefits are top knotch, it's a great package. I feel like I'm dragging our family in the mud and holding us back. I've never ever pictured myself living anywhere but right here. I asked hubby if he wished I wasn't so stubborn and he said noooo. I told him to be honest. He then said maybe. All I keep thinking is money wont buy you happiness so I should push for staying around here, but my uncle gave up his dream to make my aunt happy and they look miserable. He hates his job, (she loves hers) and he acts like he wants something so much more. She refused to move about the same distance we would be a little over 3 hours. Ugh! I need your advice. I need an unbiased opinion. Hubbys family is gonna push for us to go, mine is gonna push for us to stay. What would you do?  |
This is my experience and opinion....
The place that my hubby worked for in 2003 was closing its doors and moving everything back to their home base offices in Iowa. They offered hubby a job there. The package was great. They included moving expenses, and better health benefits.
Anyways, his family was pushing for us to go and mine wasn't. It was 10 hours away from our families. I really didn't want to go, but I knew I wasn't be fair to my hubby if I didn't let him try it. So we decided to try it and see how it worked out. We moved to Iowa for a year and then moved back home. My MIL got sick, hubby didn't want to be that far away from his family in case something happened to his mom and we couldn't be there in time. But during that year away from our family, we learned how to communicate with each other all over again. And because we didn't have any family around us to come in between us and they couldn't stick their nose in our business, we fell in love all over again.
I think if we didn't have that break from our families who knows where we'd be today. I just thank God that he gave us this opportunity to reconnect with each other.
So, maybe this might be your opportunity to reconnect with your hubby. If the move don't work out you can always move back.
