I need some advice, experiences & maybe some WWYDs please. (I'll try not to drip feed but also not to ramble).
DH & I got married last October but have been together going on 5 years. Several times in the last couple years he has mentioned possibly getting a job in the Middle East with his current employer. Previously I had always thought I'd jump at the chance (btw I'm American and all my fam live in the US.)
Well we had DS one in Dec last year & now DH is talking about the possibility of a job in Oman. We are 28 & I am desperate to be a SAHM but seriously doubt we could afford it in the UK. We also only rent our home & I cannot see any way we could save up for a deposit. DH is well respected at his company & the youngest person to gain such a senior role & is always excelling there.
Anyway, re: Oman - is it a nice place to live? Are there many other British people there? A community that I can become part of - preferably with other women in a similar situation to me that I can socialise with?
DH insists it would only be for 5 years to save up some money which is really swaying me as I would love to buy a nice home but I don't see how else we could.
(Sorry one last bit...) just found out BIL & his Canafian girlfriend are expecting but are moving to Canada. So should we consider that DH's parents would be "losing" both grandchildren? Our DS is their first.
This is all a big what if & may not even come about but I found I couldn't sleep as it was playing on my mind.
Thanks for reading.
