Did you marry this woman or did you sign a contractual business agreement with her.  Is she your wife or a rather ungrateful and difficult employee?

Op, your wife needs to move with the children to be closer to her family.  If you want to go with them then figure out a town that is closer to her hometown.  If you really don't want to be married than you need to discuss that with your wife, too.

You sound truly conflicted.  I hope things get better.

If you think about it, a marriage IS like a business arrangement. It needs to be mutually-beneficial, you need to put in equal effort, and there are certain conditions that would break the arrangement (abuse, drugs, cheating).

I never hinted I don't want to be married, so not sure where you got that from. I just don't want my whole life to change so my wife can try to fulfill some idealized fantasy of life back home, only to perhaps find it's not quite what she hoped it would be.[/quote]

It was the way you brushed off the contributions that she has made to your marriage - she got half of my house!  You don't sound like you view her as a partner.  You sort of make her sound liked the hired help that you were forced into hiring.

Maybe that isn't how you feel about her at all.  But that is the way you come across.  Your wife wants to be around "her people" because she wants to be around people who support her.[/quote]
