We turned out to have very different values and priorities at the end of the day. Let's just call it irreconcilable differences and leave it at that. We get along quite well and [b]are both remarried [/b]to awesome people who are much better fits.[/quote]

So you want her AND her husband to move?  YES.  You are REALLY selfish.  [/quote]

Hi. PP you're quoting here. I'm actually not the OP, which you don't seem to have understood at all. [/quote]

Thank you, I'm the OP and I was about to address this.[/quote]

Original PP here.

OP, based on your ex's response, it sounds like your asking was pretty tone deaf. That is a really big ask to make of someone who has no reason to give you what you want. If she has no ties to Florida, no interest in the area, no immediate job prospects, and you are already only seeing your daughter a few days a month, I don't really understand how you expected this to work. Would you be around more if they relocated to Florida? Why are you only seeing your daughter every other weekend anyway? Would you (as PP suggested, when she thought I was you) be paying her moving expenses?

If you wanted to increase the likelihood of your ex not being angry, you could have talked to her about this before you started applying for jobs and framed it with at least a few things that you would do for HER if she considered this option. It doesn't sound like you considered any of that initially, and it's probably way too late to backpedal. [/quote]
