[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Cost of living is not really lower in San Diego.  It's a tad higher than here but pretty comparable.  Houses seem to cost more too.  I realize it sounds a little me-centric but this is my perspective.  I see why he would want to take this opportunity but I also think my reasons for wanting to stay put are valid.  Family is important.  I realize his parents are my family now too and I've embraced them as such.  They come to visit for 2 weeks every 2 months or so and I spend all day every day they are here with them.  I enjoy our time together for the most part.  I am happy to do this because they are my family.  My children know and love my inlaws.  They know my parents a little less because they have spent less time with them.  My parents both have worked full time and their time with my kids has been very limited because of this.  They are just now retiring and moving here and I've looked forward to getting to spend more time with them and them getting to know my children.  My sister and her kids are in the area and the kids all love to play together whenever we get together which is often.  Aside from all of the friends I've made here over the past 9 years, my sister and I have become very close.  She is my support here and I do not have that in San Diego.  My husband would like to live closer to his parents - I realize this.  He has friends in San Diego whom he grew up with that I'm sure he'd like to see more often.  He hates the winters here.  He could make anlittle more money and have a little more responsibility if we move across the county. I just don't know that this is enough to uproot and move our family.  There is so much to stay for as well.[/quote]
