Not sure I can handle another three years of husband's career

[Anonymous]

Where is the PII? I would have no idea who she or her DH are unless, perhaps, I was the CDO or on the assignments committee and I am certain they are not trolling DCUM looking for complaining FSO spouses. Plus, really, what could they do if they did read this? Who cares?

You guys don't even know if OP changed some details slightly. I know I have before, particularly locations (Bern instead of Prague, Lima instead of Santiago).

OP please when it's resolved, just update us even if you need to be vague. I'm rooting for you both!

Well, it's Warsaw. I am not happy to tell DD that Daddy is leaving us again. It told him we won't go there. He again explained about the schools, opportunities for travel, etc. but I do not care. I wanted a real European country and he can never seem to get one.

You'd spend three years apart just because you don't want to go to Warsaw?

M
Have you ever been to Warsaw? Poland is in Europe. It's not Paris, but it's nice. I'd go to Warsaw in a heartbeat!

Is the Warsaw poster the OP? Why the talk about schools? I thought OP's kids were in college. You do sound spoiled if you think Warsaw is a hardship post!

I JUST DO NOT WANT TO GO. WHY DO I HSVE TO FOLLOW MY F**KING HUSBAND EVERYWHERE? HE IS SUCH A LOSER THAT HE CANNOT GET THE POSTING I WANT. I AM TIRED IF IT. I JUST WANT A DIVORCE AND ALIMONY. AFTER FOLLOWING HIM AROUND ALL THESE YEAS, GIVING UP MY LIFE, I DESERVE IT.

Ok fine, OP. You don't need to justify anything to us, and really don't need to do it in all caps. But why did you start this thread, then? What, if anything, do you want from us?

Over the course of three years, how much extra would your husband make at the hardship location vs. a cushy location.

And how much of a difference would those 3 years mean for your retirement (would his pension go up dramatically?).

Sorry, I'm not familiar with foreign service at all so I'm just trying to get a picture of this..

Warsaw is fabulous, Poland is so cultured. Krakow? So beautiful and sophisticated. You are close to so much. All of Europe is just a cheap plane flight away. The history of Poland alone is fascinating. This would be a wonderful post!

As a tangent…famous novelist James Mitchner was given an opportunity to write about any place he wanted and he picked Poland. He said it's because its history is fascinating.

Years ago, I read his novel, appropriately titled, "Poland." It's a GREAT read.

Poland is not a hardship post, but he would get an extrat 10 - 15 % language incentive pay, plus we could rent out our house for $2900 per month. There is also a tax free COLA.

How much extra would you net - total- over the course of 3 years?

Way too much money for a government employee.

FSOs are the most ridiculously entitled and spoiled government employees you will ever meet. This woman perfectly encapsulates their mentality.

You're right. Your life sucks. Your husband sucks. Everyone sucks. You are clearly a victim of crappy circumstances. Everyone is out to get you, and all your unhappiness in life is your husband's fault.
