OT: Yikes, My Wife Wants To Move

[VintageComics]

Sounds like she is internalizing job stress and that is forcing her to make a change for the whole family. I know the story is only one sided so far (not that we don't believe you, but her (most women's) perspective may be different) but this is a pretty common thing. Is the job stress worth uprooting everything?

The sheet of paper with pros and cons sounds like a great idea.

 

In the end Nik you'll do what's right for everyone.

Love boats, I am sure I can figure them out fairly quickly

I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. But, it doesn't matter what I think, it matters what she thinks. So, it looks like, heaven forbid, you will have to a have a meaningful heart felt conversation with your wife.

 

"Heaven forbid; heartfelt conversation"... ........................This is the 1st time I envied your independence , Doc !.............................BH

Take her to Wyoming on vacation. She'll be begging to get back to Mass. after a week!

 

This!!

 

Take that drive from Cheyenne to Gillette. She will change her mind.

A lot of teachers feel burned out by May and much better by July 1st.

 

Good luck!

Funny you mentioned that...my wife and I had a similar conversation...it seems that the grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side...but I can definitely understand making a change...

 

Oh, and I actually threw out Wyoming to my wife too. I told her, if I could do my job via my computer and UPS Delivery, I REALLY don't need all of the modern conveniences. I think I was a hobbit at one time.

 

Let's be neighbors.

[OldGuy]

Send her to Scottsdale and she can hang out with my ex. That'll bring her to her senses, or if she's maybe she'll stay.

 

Either way = problem solved.

Tell her to forget it!

Explain to her that your too old and broken down to start over.

Then I would go with the too old and broken down strategy. Maybe you'll get some pity.

Nik,

 

My wife wants to move too....maybe we can do a house swap for a year....you're wife can live in Alaska and then she'll be happy to return home.

 

I think my wife might be satisfied with upgrading our home to lake front within a few miles and for around $400-600K more though.

 

Hopefully the vacation and writing down pros and cons works for you. Just don't get into a discussion about it without slowing the pace....it's stressful to think about starting over............I don't envy you..........but I'm sure it'll work out.

 

Good mechanics and body shops are worth their weight in Gold in AK though if you do decide to move on up. I just spent $2,600 on some long deferred maintenance on our expedition :: think of the cool comic I could have bought for that.
