[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had a rough few years. Two children. PPD. Unemployment (yours). [b]Being promoted and forced to move everyone to Paris [/b]for 6 months during a winter the sun never came out (me). A stroke (yours). Gaining 20 pounds from stress eating (me). An awful sex dry period (both of us).

I sometimes feel like you don't love me, but respect my commitment to the cause (our marriage).

But then you baked me my favorite bread. And brought me coffee. And woke me up at 5 am so we could snack and cuddle in bed.

And all is right in the world. We'll be fine.[/quote]

Sounds amazing to me (even w/out the sun.)

In a completely different context, yes, it would have been amazing. But to take your family and make them move into a corporate flat for six months in a completely different country when your spouse has PPD and PPA, it was sort of the best worst decision. We needed me working and my income (and health insurance), but leaving DC in the midst of a health crisis with small children was the absolute worst. We actually moved our mother in law in with us to help manage. And hired a full time nanny. In a small three bedroom "European" apartment.  It was horrible and I was thrilled the second I was allowed back to the states.

I still go to Paris once every few months for a week or so alone. It's lovely. But the conditions we were under were horrible. Just horrible.[/quote]
