I'm frightend. My husband is being made redundnant in July. He has tried several times at jobs in UK and Europe but no luck (he works for health service). He announced 2 weeks ago that he had applied for a job in Qatar. He had already had 4 interviews and in provision said yes.. without consulting me even to let me know he was applying for this role. I have three children aged 10, 6 and 2. I don't own anything as everything is in husband's name and we rent the house we live in. The two flats he owns with his brother are not in my name. He has one remaining interview in Qatar this Sunday coming. We both fly out for four days on Thursday. The problem is I just can't stand the thought of moving there and uprooting from UK. I am 43 and this is a nightmare situation for me as he is older than me and wants to retire to Spain after a 5 year stint earning meggabucks in Qatar. The situation is I feel scared I will have nothing to come back to in the UK as my mother is a hoarder and I haven't been allowed in her house for 15 years. What do I do? I will go with him to see Qatar but if he gets the job there is no way I want to uproot all to live there. Our kids are very happy here in UK and all my family and friends are here. I know I would be unhappy in Qatar with my personality and I would always be looking for an escape. So scared.
