[quote=Anonymous]Both still want to work, but can do so remotely, it’s more on location. My husband wants to stay near the kids, despite them saying they have no idea where they will be. I’m fine with doing that, but I want to spend more time up north at our beach place with my family. I’ve lived away from them more than 30 years now and simply want to be up there more. Husband is non-committal about it. I have no problem going up without him, but there’s a part of me that feels guilty doing so. When I try and talk to him about even a 5 year plan, I don’t get much and it’s very frustrating. The kids are now grown (youngest is 20) and being up north will actually put me closer to college age DS. Would be happy to be here through the holidays and Jan/Feb/Mar but would love to be up there starting in April through late October. I could spend so much more time with my family and friends that way. Husband is a bit of an introvert so we have no real couple-friends here. My friends here would love to visit me up North (and have when I’ve gone up).

Anyone else finding themselves at odds with their spouse on future plans?[/quote]
