could you live away from your partner?

[whymummy]

ok,i'm really,really considering going back home,i'm missing my family and friends too much and is making me ill,the only solution would be for the children and i to move and dh stay here to work and come over at weekends,we've talked about it and although he knows how i feel he doesn't want to be on his own and he has a really good job over here and doesn't want to lose it,i don't want him to be miserable but i really want go so my questions are
would it work?
do any of you or your partners work away from home?
how do you feel about it?
if you were in my situation would you do it?

lol,andalucian is so funny to listen to,i think an english person with a regional spanish accent is quite funny too,dh is from up north and people used to laugh at my spanish/geordie accent

i did have some good sites for gibraltar but i lost everything on my old computer,i'm off to see what i can find,thanks

Ok buenas noches! I'll see if I can come up with anything useful, Adio (hahaha)

ohu,adioh y buenah nocheh

Hausfrau, I was asking because I used all the arguments on your thread to convince a friend to go to Cambridge instead of going to Dublin, unfortunately he has found Cambridge very posh and it's not happy over there, I wonder now if he would be doing better in Dublin... Oooops!

Whymummy, Gibraltar sounds great you can live accross the border, house prices are very reasonable yet and pounds still go a long way there (I have been doing my research since yesterday as you may appreciate )

i don't mind gibraltar,i know he'll be very happy there,i'll be on the other side maybe next door to lucy5
how's your search going chandra?any luck?

Cantabria 1 Texas 0

texas?????? noooooo,go to spain please so i can see you so tell me more about cantabria

it rains!

I don't know, there's an opening there but I don't see DH being very enthusiastic about it. Besides, I'm worried that we may end up feeling lonely again as we only know one person there, and more importantly... I don't want to waste any chance of getting nearer to my family! I'm afraid of not being happy in the next place and then to have to stay another 7 yrs there just to convince DH to take the plunge and move again. AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH What should we do?

Stay in Englnd I suppose???

P.S> But I appreciate the offer and will visit you in Spain during the holidays

you'll soon make friendsand you can get the ferry from santander to england to come and see me cos believe me i'll still be here,seriously texas will be so close to your family,it'll be better,never been to texas,i'll come and see you there

LOL if i end up in the south and you in the north we'll meet in madrid

YEs, depending in the queu at the border it may well be 15 minutes. Though the prospect of Marcha Madrilenya may tip the balance into a different decission

Please tell me to go off to clean, visit arrives in 2 hrs and the house is still a disaster!!!

you know what they say a messy house is a happy house
enjoy it!
the company that is,not the cleaning

BTW... I'm draming here, I won't believe we are moving until we have sold the house and took plane with dogs in the plane, but ... that may well take years . So I may visit you coming from York rather than santander

My house is soooo happy, DH is not about such a happy house!

me too,it could be years before we can afford a house back home,we're just going to have to be patient,you can always move to lovely staines;)

well go and tell dh to get his marygolds on,can't he see you're busy discusing our future with me

in the mean time lets dream, is so nice to live with hope

...But I'mot going to live long if I'm still plugged to the computer by the time DH arrives

Que?

LOL,we'll talk tomorrow

ba bai

adios

we've just agreed that we will go at the end of next summer,we need to safe around £20.000 first for a deposit on a house there,dh will stay for the time being and come to see us as often as he can and learn spanish in the meantime,we will rent our house here just in case we want to come back,i'm happy but i still feel guilty,he's telling me not to be as he knows the children and i will be happier over there,lots of mixed feelings at the moment

fab

can't he learn spanish by the end of next summer tho???
