Holding a grudge

DH got offered a big promotion which involved us moving to Asia. Whilst it seemed like a great career opportunity and also an adventure for the family - I wasn’t too keen. DS16 is just starting A levels - and studying at one of the best grammar schools in the UK. I have a business that I run and also lots of family in the UK. We decided on a compromise which involved the family coming out during school holidays. (I would work remotely during that time and we decided it would be less disruptive for the kids. DH’s company said the family needed to be in the same country as it wouldn’t work (it was a 3 year posting). So DH reluctantly turned the promotion down. DH has been angry and bitter - thinks the decision is career limiting and that I never wanted to move anyway. We’ve been arguing constantly - or he’s been giving me the silent treatment (he does this quite a lot when we have disagreements). I’m really upset and the kids have found it stressful. AIBU ?

What do you want to do to change things?

Get divorced. Tell ExH's company you're divorcing, then he can do the overseas posting and you can always visit in the school holidays if you want to.

What you have now is no life.

When you have kids you accept you will have to make career sacrifices; women do it ALL the time. The fact your H can't accept that & chooses to make home life miserable for all makes him a very bad parent.
