I moved to the UK about 17 years ago, it was never supposed to be permanent, but life happened!
I've been feeling increasingly homesick, and with that a desire to move back home.
It was always seen that moving to London was a "happy middle ground" but after me bursting into tears because of how much I missed home, DH has said that he actually prefers if we move to my birth country. My DH also doesn't have anuy qualifications so he know that he'll either have to be a handy man or work in retail once we move to London (neither excite him).
So I think TO HIM the challenge is similar (London Vs Home country) but he doesn't speak the language, and I doubt he'll learn it before we "move" - in 5 years.
My biggest worry is that he'll then become my financial dependent. We'll be able to rent our house here, which would translate to one medium size income. Plus whatever job I can get (which would be within the bracket of a high earner).
Anyway, AIBU to think either my husband is being disingenuous or that I shouldn't get excited as he really doesn't know what it entails to move across an ocean!
