[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This could be long, but I will make it short.   We live a very suburban DC country club life.  My husband works and travels a lot.  We don't have really any financial concerns, and I realize that is a huge blessing.   We have a pretty good marriage, had our issues, but are doing well.  Two healthy kids.

However, I really want to live somewhere else.   I have a West Coast state that I love and want to move to.   I am really affected by weather and I am a different person, much happier, in a sunny, mild weather locale.   I also love the ocean.   My husband doesn't want to move for at least ten years (kids off to college) if then.    I also want a simpler life for myself and the kids.   Less crazy competition, less running around all of the time, more time with family, more time in nature.  A less country club atmosphere.    My husband thinks our life is great and doesn't want to make the changes I do.

I realize I was a participant in what kind of life we are living today, but I honestly don't know what to do.  These feelings are making me depressed and the feeling of a lack of control over my life is making me angry.   Advice welcome.  Thanks. [/quote]

Are there jobs or family that tie you to the DC area? If so, that would make the negotiation more difficult. [/quote]
