[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's a selfish request, but I do think that there was a very low probability of it working out.

I am divorced and a couple years ago, my ex (who I have a good relationship with) lost his job. We have a child and share custody, and I told him that when he started looking for new jobs, if a great opportunity came up in another city or state (particularly if it was out west closer to my family), I would be interested in discussing how that would work. It seemed really weird to relocate across the country with an ex, but at the same time, I would happily have done it on my own and also when we were still married, so not THAT weird. He was receptive to the idea, but he eventually got an awesome job here, so it didn't happen.

Your ex has made her feelings very clear. If you had joint custody, that would be one thing, but you do not. I would remind you that if it is not about her and is about your daughter then it is also not about you. If you only see her every other weekend now, you can fly up to DC for long weekends once a month, or you can stay here.[/quote]
