[quote=Anonymous]What are your job prospects out in SoCal? Would you be giving up a position you love for this move? You don't mention any of those details but that definitely factors in.

My husband gave up a job with growth potential to come be down here with me a few years ago. I had the more stable job with higher pay potential at the time. There's something in the works that may take us back north in 2-3 years, when my husband will be earning more, have more prestige, etc. I think in our case, it would make sense for me to put my career preferences on the back burner and support him in that move when the time comes; I'll still work but probably have to take something more boring since my industry isn't really based there. Marriage is a give and take; you should want to support your husband's ambitions and he should want to support yours. Sometimes it will be your turn to be supportive and make a few sacrifices. Sometimes it will be his. If you feel like it's all been one sided in the past, then I can see your hesitation but I think you should seriously consider whether it's your turn.

Obviously, you'd want to alert your parents not to move down here if you're not going to be here anymore, but that's something to handle after you & DH decide. [/quote]
