Husband wants to move abroad and I don’t…….

We are a family of 3, my husband has been trying (although not particularly hard) to gain a visa for Australia. It’s costly, and he’s spent so much on it so far. He was going through the process when we met, and I said I’d never stop him from going. Fast forward 10 years, marriage and a child later and he wants to go. I am not that keen, has anyone experience this before? What did you do? he wants a better life for us and our child. Am I being unreasonable to say no? For me, I don’t want to start again, we have an amazing family support network and friends.

Definitely don't go. If you go and hate it, you won't be able to leave with you child.

You do what you want to do.

The relationship might not last.
