[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do you work?  I'm guessing from your post that you do not.

Your husband probably realizes how difficult it is to change jobs, especially cross country and especially if his job is very good and he is well paid where he is.  It is risky to move.

I have to say, I hear this kind of thing from my mother all of the time, that she wants to move somewhere else, for the "lifestyle."  Part of the problem is she doesn't work, has no clue how much work and networking it takes to get to a secure place in your career and how difficult it is to suddenly change that.  I also sense that part of her problem is boredom.

Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps you do work, and if that is the case, then you have every right to want to move, to start looking for work elsewhere.

But if your comfortable lifestyle is purely funded by his career, then I think you are foolish to whine that he doesn't want the life you want, because in reality, he problem has a more realistic idea of what it takes to fund that life and how hard he has worked to fund the life you have now.

Waiting until the kids are off to college makes a lot of sense.[/quote]

OP, find a job and you will have a better understanding of your husnband's perspective plus less time to invent problems.[/quote]
