Need some honest opinions here although I appreciate you are only getting my side - I am trying to be as honest as possible.
We moved to Australia over a year ago. DH loves it, I am not so sure. Big changes to the immigration system have now happened and it means we are needing to come back to the UK. Staying here will cost us every penny we've saved for. This was the plan until Thursday and we intended on coming back early August.
Roll forward to yesterday when I told work that we'd be leaving in August. They now want to try and sponsor me.
Won't have a definite yes or no answer to that until next week.
Against my better judgement, I told DH about what work have said and he thinks I am being selfish for not wanting to stay.
If my work say yes, it isn't all to do with not wanting to stay but more to do with the fact that I have a 2 year old son and my working ours will be 45 per week plus 45 minute commute every day.
This basically means for 5 days a week I won't see my son for a minimum of 2 years!
My husband thinks that I am being selfish for not doing this and leaping at the chance. Don't get me wrong, I am not work shy but there is a big difference between working 35 hours in the UK and 45 hour here.
I am having such a dilema. I wish I hadn't said anything to him yesterday but I don't keep anything from him.
Am I being unreasonable for not wanting to work so many hours (they are not negotiable).
He's behaving like a complete prick towards me at the moment and I can see this splitting us, especially if work say yes.
Work say yes, we stay but I have no life.
Work say no we go back with a devastated husband and possibly a split in my marriage.
My head is a mess.
