[quote=Anonymous]OP is burned out, tired of moving around, tired of living in places she doesn't want to live, and wanted to finally have some say in their location. Not to mention she's tired of being a trailing spouse and is tired of working two-bit jobs or no job at all. She also suspects, rightly or wrongly, that her husband is neither sufficiently proactive nor successful enough to get an assignment in a place she wants to live. I also think another PP is onto something when she mentioned that this sounds like it's devolved into a power struggle. It sounds like it has, on both of their parts.

OP's anger and frustration make perfect sense. And I say this as someone who would like to go live in Warsaw! But I really do get it, OP. Best of luck to you.

PS - to the poster who told her she signed the dotted line and should suck it up: shove it. His early career was in private sector and for all we know they already had their kids by then. HE signed the dotted line, not her. And HE decided to have a family when he joined the FS, so it was HIS responsibility to take their needs and wants into account to, not just those of his job.[/quote]
