[quote=Anonymous]In my marriage, I'm the one who wants to move and DH wants to stay for career reasons (my job is portable). We ultimately compromised by agreeing to stay fur a set number of years so that he can maximize the career benefit if staying in his current job, but then we will move. We are treating it like location assignment for work.

Having a date when we know we are going to move has made it easier for me to enjoy the good things about living here now. It also helps me relax about some if the things I don't like (like how expensive it is and certain cultural things that just don't work well with my personality). I know it's temporary.

It also enabled us to make some choices for our kids to ease that transition. We spend two weeks a year in the place we will move to and our kids attend a summer camp near there. It keeps us connected and helps our kids view our ultimate move there as something they are part of -- they have connections there and while I know there will be sadness about leaving friends here, they already talk about our move positively.

This solution isn't for everyone but it's worked well for us. [/quote]
