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?

oh wow,congratulations and good luck
yes my children feel right at home too in spain,they never want to come back,i do worry about ds specially as he's a bit of a drama queen and might make feel really guilty when we go but on the other hand i know he's going to be so busy playing with my nephew and enjoying all that freedom that he might be quite happy and look forward to the weekends with daddy,i hope you can come to a compromise,this is something really important for you and it won't be for ever,hope the sales go really well

Just changing the subject a bit. Whymummy have you seen this? Good job you're dh is english! (well I think he is)

LOL pollylogos i had no idea,more reason for dh to come with us,i'm sure the law applies to him as well

hi everyone
just a bit of an update,i've tried not to talk too much about it with dh as i know he'll get upset but last night he said that he's actually looking forward to buying the house and that he's really sick of his job and looking forward to come to see us every 10 days will help him carry on.
changing the subject,lucy5 do you get spanish chanel 5? my brother is playing with his band in cronicas marcianas on monday,he plays electric guitar and is going bald in case you do watch it

Hellooooo Hola, glad to hear that! great that he's looking forward to the move, I' sure that will made the move far more easy and enjoyable

hola chandrathanks,yes i don't feel so guilty now,he really meant it,he also said that if in 2 years time it doesn't work out we'll come back,wich i agreed as it's only fair,hopefully it will work out

hi everyone
lucy i don't know if you're around but dh has just said that he wants the children to go to english school the first year,i've found one in a town near us but is 5000 euros a year,is that the normal going fee?what does it include?if it doesn't include meals and books is going to be really expensive with the bus fees,etc
i'm going to send them an email but i wanted to hear it from someone who knows before i sound stupid,lol
