[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe all of the shitheads giving you a hard time and telling you to suck it up and move!!!! Sooooo sexist. You have a great career here, why should you give it up just because you're a woman? I would not move. Sometimes relationships just don't work out because of circumstance. This may be one of those situations. [/quote]

I may agree with you IF he was moving her to Alaska or rural Oklahoma or someplace like that where she could not practice or her only choice would be to hang up a shingle and write wills. Yet he is asking her to move to one of the biggest cities in the south where there are big law firms, medium law firms, TONS of corporations, and a SEC office; chances are she COULD find something to do that she'd find fulfilling, yet she doesn't even want to try.

OP -- is this REALLY about making partner? Meaning you think you have a shot but don't want to move bc it'll mess it up? Bc if that's the case that's a different discussion. But I'm not sure if that's the case bc you mention exits to SEC and DOJ.[/quote]

OP, I would ask your husband to go to a therapist together to discuss and work this out with a neutral party. People are giving you a hard time because you make breaking up your family seem like no big deal. I don't agree with the way your husband has presented his ultimatum. This is not the way mature people discuss a huge issue like moving to a new city. I am guessing there are big problems in your marriage. Perhaps you see this as an opportunity to end it. A therapist will help you both work through these things.[/quote]
