[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - we talked a ton about it tonight.  He feels like it would really look bad for him to turn down this opportunity of advancement within his company.  It looks like we would be living a little further north tan San Dego because the job is more based in LA/Long Beach so now he's talking about Newport Beach, OC, Huntington Beach so we'd be an hour or so from his parents.  I'm thinking about offering to take a trip out there to see if its a place I could see our family in.  I just keep coming back to not wanting to leave our life here - especially my family.[/quote]

It is interesting that you see 'your family' as being your parents nad siblings more than you see your 'family' as being your husband and kids. YOUR family is your husband and kids and you wouldn't be leaving them - you would be moving with them. Your extended family will miss you but your kids barely know your parents so it isn't like they are leaving close extended family that is supportive and an active part of their lives. Many, many kids don't live near their aunts, uncles and cousins all their lives. If you go west for a few years with YOUR family, you still have plenty of time to move again and to spend more time with your parent and siblings.

I am not saying you should just leave because your husband wants to but I to think it is very telling that being near your extended family is more important to you than your own husband and kids. Maybe your husband could take the kids and go and you can stay here with your family. [/quote]
