[quote=Anonymous][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]

Not at all.  I'd think a husband and father throwing away his family for his career is a terrible person, too.[/quote]

"So far in our 8-year marriage, my husband has moved for my career. I am a litigation associate at a big law firm.  We started out in NYC when I was a first year associate, moved to DC for me to clerk for a District Judge (prestigious in the legal profession) for a year, moved back to NYC for two years, then moved to DC for me to clerk again at the Court of Appeals.  [b]After clerking, I decided to go to a major DC-based firm with no NYC office, instead of back to NYC.  My husband was upset, but had his transfer to DC finalized.[/b]"

It looks like it is his turn. [/quote]

Seriously. There are only a handful of DC firms with no NYC office and OP had to pick THAT one?? She really couldn't have sucked it up and gone to a NYC firm after he had moved for TWO clerkships and esp knowing that his financial sales career would probably be better off in NYC?? I'm thinking he's sick of being the trailing spouse.[/quote]
