I am an Australian and have lived in London for 10 years. I met my European/South African husband here and we now have 2 children aged 11months and 2.11. I want to go home. I never planned to live in London or the UK in the long term. Neither of us have extended family in the UK as DH's family are in Europe. I am shedding friends at a rapid rate as they move out of London (my English friends) or back to Australia (including some English friends). Its lonely here, both of our jobs are being threatened by the current economic mess, we cannot avail ourselves of London's delights with two young kids, and I am worried about the quality of education in our borough (huge class sizes for example). I just think the quality of life is better in Australia, including job prospects but i also want to be with my family and friends. However- and here is the guts of it- my husband does not want to go to Oz. He cites various reasons, including proximity to his family and job retraining. Its causing a huge rift in our relationship (as those of you who may have identified me probably know). I am not asking to move tomorrow but i dont want to stay in the UK. AIBU??
