Would you go live in another country

[DrowningEveryDay]

without your DH?

For career.

DH does not want to go.

If DC weren’t a consideration yes. But mine has been away with work. So what’s good for him is good for me.

We have no DC and we don't plan to have children.

I want to chase a career in another country which I am also unsure if will work, but if it does, it will be so much more than what I can realistically have where I am right now.

My DH too, his career has much better options where I want to go, but he does not want to go (did but changed his mind) because of the lack of national healthcare where I'm going.

YES! I've done it several times, lived and worked in HK, NYC after studying in Belgium and graduating in US. Now living in the UK. So many opportunities out there. However remember in some countries it might get a little bit tricky for you as a woman. In some cultures woman is not accepted as a manager.. (I've struggled in Dubai and India)

Living in another country will not only improve your CV but also benefit your life on so many other levels. It's also an exciting experience for both of you as a couple.

Obviously you need to think about expenses, insurance, taxes, health care, pension = all legal implications.

Only you can answer that dilemma. Ask yourself honestly, is a career overseas more important than your relationship with your husband? Would you be okay with your marriage falling apart for this job? Not saying it will, you just need to look at all possible outcomes. Would you resent your husband , if you don’t go?

Why won’t your DH move with you?

For me personally, not without DH. We are very close, enjoy each other’s company and would miss each other terribly. I’m very lucky that he is supportive and will be moving overseas for my sake this year.

Why won’t your DH move with you?

He has some medical conditions (not serious life-threatening ones, eg. glaucoma) and it's much more convenient health-wise where we are, since we have a national healthcare system.
