[quote=Anonymous]We're trying to find resources on the experience of being a trailing spouse, when one spouse is an FSO and the other works in international development but just not as an FSO. Most of the experiences we're able to find talk about spouses who gave up their career fields to become a trailing spouse, and while that's certainly helpful to read to prepare us for the reality that the trailing spouse will likely end up unemployed at least a few postings, I feel like it's not as helpful for us as hearing from a couple where one is an FSO and the other has historically worked for the UN, the World Bank, or a big int'l NGO like Save the Children, ie - the trailing spouse's career naturally would be slanted towards being overseas anyway. Do any DCUM folks have a profile more like ours that could share your perspective with us? Do you feel like the distinction I'm drawing even makes a difference? What's worked well for you? What have been your biggest challenges?[/quote]
