[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where did you and your wife meet? If you met in the city, then she was presumably voluntarily living there, so it's not like you imposed some huge change on her--the two of you just continued to live where you met and married. I would be [b]very[/b]wary of moving to her small hometown. You will always be the outsider, your children will be subsumed into her family, and if you're unhappy there and want to move back, she will never agree because she has family support there and will keep the children with her. You will lose all control of your family. I would not move--status quo wins. Call her bluff. If she really wants to move, she will go with or without you, but the children may well stay with you because it would mean uprooting them from their schools and community. [/quote]

I agree with this and I'm a bit shocked by how many posters are siding with his wife. I doubt they'd be so open minded if their DH said "it was my lifelong dream to live in Manhattan, so pack the kids up, let's go".[/quote]
