Hello
I am a very long term lurker. Sorry for only being brave enough to post when i need advise.
This might be lengthy so i appologise in advance! I am also using my phone so sorry for fat-fingered typos!!

Ok...
Dh has been offered a huge promotion. more money, (not mega amounts but still good) but with this will be lots more hours. he already has a very high pressured job btw.
I work 3days. I have always wanted to lessen my hours, and a 3rd child. Both of which he has said a loud "NO" to. we also has a plan to move to the coast this time next year.
I know he will want to take the job but i feel i have spent our whole relationship tagging along behind him.
Is it wrong to want to get something out of this deal?
I sound like a right cow...
We are going out tomorrow night ro talk it all through, but there is no way i can say dont do it. I am gutted that we wont be moving and even though he has said its both of our decision and he will do whats best for our family, its all just words as there is no way i can ask him to turn it down.
I should be so pleased for him, reaching the top of of his job but all i feel is butterflies in my tummy...

To be honest, it is a luxury few people can afford, dropping hours and have leisure time.

Pleased you are feeling a bit better. Maybe a break from the stress of thinking about it is just what you all need :). Hope you manage to reach a resolution.
