[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you saying that Warsaw was one of his 'hardship"? First you complained that he was seeking hardship in his top 3 for the extra money for college. Now it seems you're just upset about Warsaw. WHere did he rank other places that you wanted? How many of them was he eligible for?

I can see getting upset if he did not listen at all to your desires/preferences. But there's a lot of uncertainty in the FS process, as you know. None of us are clear here as to what you think your options were and what he thought his options were and what they actually are.

Have you considered staying in DC and being apart for 3 years, with some visits? Seems less drastic than divorce. [/quote]

No, my DH punched the "hardship" ticket - so he says - so that we wouldn't be doing hardship again.  He top bid Washington posts, two Western Europe, Warsaw and two "throw away" bids on below grade posts he knew he would not be assigned to.  That was round 1.

In round two, he bid two more Washington assignments, one Western Europe, Warsaw and a few more I forget.  None in the strict "harsdship" definition, just not places I want to be.

He was not assigned to any of his top three, and was assigned to number 4 - Warsaw.  I had been telling him all along I would not accept a post outside the top 3.  He has made his bed, and now has to lie in it.  I am not going, and if he goes I just want a divorce. I am sick and tired of it.  He will not get another job, even though I have repeatedly asked him to.  Ugh! [/quote]
