To not want to throw in my job to live in France for a year?

[Puppalicious]

My DH is always complaining about where we live (the weather, the day to day slog) and he is desperate to move (either to the country, or to another country). He has now become absolutely adamant that he wants to move to France for a year “for an adventure”. This would involve me giving up my job, which he says I haven’t been happy in recently. I have been struggling at times recently, because of various factors, and he says I’m obsessed with it do the detriment of my family, it is stressful but ultimately it’s well-paid, senior, my boss is fine and it works ok with my kids given it’s full-time and senior (flexible, short commute, hybrid). It’s far from guaranteed I could find job similar when I come back (could be less well paid, less senior (I like working at this level) or longer and less flexible hours with demanding clients or indeed I could struggle to get a job. He says we could live off our savings but we have 3 kids to put through college, the youngest of whom has just started school and we are not young. At the same time, we only live once and it does feel a bit samey. He is putting me under pressure, but would AIBU to say no?

@WonderingAboutThus Thanks for the links!

Yep and and then there’s the little question of finding somewhere to live. I doubt the OP will be buying seeing as it’s just for a year and finding somewhere to rent isn’t that easy especially without regular permanent income ( i live in France )

It's obvious, as otherwise people could just move to the wealthier parts of Europe and claim unemployment benefits wherever they are more generous. That was never the intention of freedom of movement

WHAT Nigel Farage was...lying??

I'm not sure. It is the kind of thing I would love to do, but it would feel reckless to give up everything for a year.
It does sound like life changes need to be made though. If you're constantly moaning about your job, but not doing anything about it, then this could be driving him crazy. He doesn't sound happy either, to be honest.
Do you spend time and do fun stuff together? Go on holiday? This is perhaps what you should focus on, rather than moving your troubles elsewhere.

I would also suggest first trying a long holiday (a month or six weeks over the summer holidays), renting a nice place (with a pool for the kids?) perhaps just outside a decent sized town, for the duration .
If necessary your DH and DC could stay there all the time and you could fly back a couple of times if you need to.
We did this in Montpellier and Biarritz. We also did a week of intensive French courses, just to keep our hand in, and thoroughly enjoyed it all.
I definitely would not give up a well paid senior job without exploring all the possibilities, good and bad.
