Just looking for advice from those who have moved overseas for their partner mainly!
Myself and my DH lived in Australia for 2 years and returned to the UK 2 years ago. We came back because it was only ever planned to be two years. I spent the first year we were out there incredibly homesick, even though I loved it there. I visited home once and at the airport back to Oz vowed to myself that I couldn't do this again! But then when I landed I went for a lovely walk by the water with my best friend, looked at the huge sky and felt so much better instantly. But maybe that was because I knew at this stage I was definitely heading back to the UK?
Well we've been back for 2 years now. My career has gone pretty well, I have a job I love. DH has had knock back after knock back in his career and is feeling pretty low about it.
We live in an amazing city, have access to the (cold) outdoors and generally have a nice life. Considering DCs soon.
But I know DH would go back to Australia tomorrow if we could. Our jobs were less busy, we got paid more, had more time off.
But I would just miss my family so so much. I've got friends here and out there who I'll miss either way.
If DH doesn't get the job he is going for this time, I really think we should consider moving back. I love it there too and miss it lots, but I'm fairly sure if DH was happy here I would be happy to stay. Will I resent him if we move? Maybe he needs a career change, or we need a flat with some natural light during the day!
