[quote=Anonymous]There is zero way you should do this long term unless you basically decide you would have divorced anyway. Now, let’s imagine you divorced and he moved three hours away — everyone would basically think he was a terrible dad.

At ages 10 and 12, you move!! You don’t plan for kids to not live in the same city as their dad for as many as 8 years. Now, you don’t have to move right away. But you move.

I say this as someone whose dad had a career where he often moved in the winter and then we moved when the school year ended. I probably did that 5 times as a kid (including in high school). That was fine. It was at most 6 months. My sister has done it with her husband a couple times for up to 18 months. But, her husband flew out Monday morning and was home Thursday night. It was very hard, but made sense because he has jobs that he knows won’t last more than 1-2 years.

If you don’t want to move immediately, ok. Make sure he loves the job first. Take your time figuring out where to live. But don’t make spilt kids from their parents.[/quote]
