Every week?

Besides, while that can be necessary, I can’t imagine anyone with a family would choose it unless they had to. And the Op has other options that likely aren’t terrible, just not her idea of perfect. [/quote]

This is OP.  You are right, we don’t have to do this.  However we do not want to retire in our current location, so this would be a short term situation to get us where we would ultimately want to be long term for retirement. I do not like where we are at currently for reasons I don’t want to go into here, and I am the impetus for this potential move if that helps. [/quote]

I’m still confused about the 2 year only thing. Is he going to retire in 2 years? I think you are making a lot of assumptions. I wouldn’t do it, personally. But I know people who are married to consultants who are gone 4 days a week and even then move their families around so it’s fine. Are you a SAHM? Are you really happy to be a single parent most of the time? I guess I’m really surprised to hear you are the driving force here. It sounds like you are not happy and are grasping at straws to change something. I don’t understand why you can’t move in 2 years? Also does your husband even want to do this? My DH works a lot but he would not be ok with seeing our kids so little and would really resent it if I tried to push him into this. It’s just all very strange [/quote]

This is OP.  I don’t think the “why” behind the two years before my spouse can be with me and the kids is germane to what I am asking.  What I am asking is if anyone has lived in this type of scenario before.  I’ve gotten some great responses so thanks to those that offered up their experiences, very helpful.  [/quote]
