Am I right in thinking DH is outrageously selfish? or is it me?

DH has been offered a job that is slightly better paid, in a new location and will considerably raise our standard of living as a family.

However he is telling me that if he remains in the job he is in at the moment it will eventually come good (in about three years) and the financial rewards will be huge - he has already been promising this for over a year. As a family though this means that we will have to remain living in a rough inner city area, in a tiny flat while our kids go to a crappy school. All of this would change if he takes the above job but the financial possibilities are limited.

I don t believe or trust him tbh. We have had a lot of problems over the years. I am really unhappy where we are living. I cry nearly every day. His promises of huge financial rewards seem unrealistic to me. Similar to "Don t worry about anything because I am going to win the lottery in a year".

He tells me I am limited and don t want greatness in life, something that could be achieved if he stays where he is. Any advice or thoughts would be helpful please.

Hello Cantgomuch. We seem to be in similar situations. Don't really want to go into it here but I'd be happy to take it to email if you like. Chin up. I understand how hard it can be.
