is DH U to refuse to consider moving?

[EccentricaGallumbits]

I have found the perfect job. I want it. I'd even like to live in that area.

It would take us away from school, family, roots, etc etc.

it's a whim but i'm wondering now if DH is unreasonable to even consider moving to save me having to commute an hour and a half each way?

DH is NOT even considering moving.

Have you considered all options regarding jobs closer by?

Would your family benefit by moving - more money, better house etc?

yes. had interview yesterday - am fucked if i don't get it as alternatives are 1.5 hour commute away. perfect job is about 6 hours drive away.
they wouldn't benefit at all.

Yes he is BU. But I am only saying that because I want to move to Newcastle (from Teesside) and DH won't consider it because it is too far away from Mummy. It's 40 mins on a train FFS.

To not even consider it is unreasonable.
You should at least discuss it.

perfect job is near a beach though.

Many men expect their wives to move because of their job, he is being unreasonable not to even consider it.

he is isn't he. miserable bastard.
i want a nice job near a beach.
i will stamp my feet. it won't work but i'll do it anyway.

Where is it eccentrica?

He is BU BTW. Merits consideration and a discussion at least.

cornwall.

nice beaches. nice icecream. nice pasties. what not to like?

of course there's the small problem of his job being immovable but still...

Ahhhh! Now I understand . When DH was a carpenter I was always trying to persuade him that he could carpent in Cornwall just as easily as here. And I would be able to work from home every day!

He never went for it

6 hrs away..I will prob be in the minority here but I don't think your DH is BU.

I do think he should have talked it over with you however. When DH was offered a job in Dubai, I listened and we spoke about it but I was honest from the start and said I could not move that far.

Luckily he did not really want to go either, must be hard if one wants to move somewhere but the other doesn't. I do feel for you as it's a lovely part of the country.

I shall sulk and then he'll have to buy me presents to make me happy again. I shall request a puppy. or a diamond.

still think he's an unadventurous miserable bastard though.

Go for the diamond. It doesn't need walking.

A job 6 hours away that won't benefit anyone in the family but you, and will most likely have the opposite effect on the rest of them.
I'm backing the husband on this one

humph.
