[quote=Anonymous]The way I look at it is where we live is a family decision (kids get a vote, but not an equal vote). I am the primary wage earner, earning 95% of the family income, but my wife gets a nearly equal decision on where to live. I say nearly equal, because economics does factor in. She may want to live in a place where my expertise is not valued, and I would work at a fraction of what I make now. But, similarly, if I get an offer to move somewhere, she gets veto power. I can still move, but it is not reasonable to require her to move. Growing up, my father unilaterally joined the Navy when I was 11. That was horrible for the the family (unilaterally joining; not discussing). When I was 17, he unilaterally decided to move again. I said no. And I found a place to stay on my own. Parents did not move. I would not put my DD or my wife under that kind of stress. [/quote]
