Bit long, apologies in advance. Its also a bit of a WWYD.
DH is Canadian, and we have been resident in the UK for over 10 years now. All throughout DH has been desperate to move back to Canada to be close to his family. I don't have any family here either (I am Indian). While I have been thinking that it may not be such a bad idea to move back to Canada, it was always something that we would do in the future, not right now (IYSWIM). Both of us have had trouble making friends and settling here, but after having had DD I have settled down, and made a few very good friends.
Anyway, crux of the matter, I found out today that DH has applied for and got redundancy from his permanent position. The severance package is very generous, a year's salary, but I am really mad at him because,
a. Its a recession, and I really don't think you should be messing about with a well paying permanent job.
b. I am finally settled down in our village, and happy where I am, including with my job.
c. I don't want to start all over again in a new country.
d. I am scared to death of making a huge life change like this one.
e. DH could have at least listened to my concerns before applying for the redundancy.
f. I enjoyed being able to go back to India for holidays, but now its going to be a huge expense.
I want DH to reconsider his decision. AIBU? Please tell me if I am!!
