That should be the first question.

It is ok to feel sad about moving a lot. But if you don't work OP, it is very selfish of you to resent your spouse for doing what he thinks he has to do to put food on the table, even if he is wrong.[/quote]

So, if she works, then she shouldn’t move?  What if she makes enough to put food on the table, but living on just her salary would mean a smaller house and older cars?  What if she’s ok with that in order to stay near family and friends, but he isn’t?   [/quote]

No, but if she works full time she has a stronger leg to stand on when objecting to moving the family. Since she didn’t mention her job and hasn’t returned she likely doesn’t work and/or is a troll.

Why does she have a stronger leg to stand on when it comes to moving the family if she works?  I know that people seem to think this is obvious, but I don’t get it.  Whether or not she has a strong leg to stand on has to do with their relationship status and whether or not he respects her opinion or cares about her happiness.  It has nothing to do with her employment status.
