writes: My husband of 10 years, with whom I have 3 young children, has decided to opt for a better lifestyle on the other side of the world as he's fed up with his job, the UK, the weather, etc...He professes to love us deeply and is expecting that we'll go there for a visit, fall in love with the place, and sell up and move out there. I already told him, well before he went, that neither myself nor the children will ever do that since I will not leave my ageing parents alone, nor my grown sons (his stepsons) and their families. My children would be heartbroken to leave their grandparents and vice-versa - we are all very close. How can a man who professes to love us so much just drop everything and clear off for 'a better life'? I am devastated. Talk about Sophie's Choice!! I love that man like crazy but I feel so betrayed - by another country! Should I hang around and hope he gets fed up and comes back, or draw a line under our relationship and try to start again? Am I being a blind fool?

 how old is your husband and yes maybe he maybe chasing rain bows but unless he does this he will always blame you for stopping him let him go and go over you to may fall in love with the place that's what he would like but you can't cos you have to always think about someone else your kids, your parents if the kids are young then they will adapt yes it is a big upheaval but its how much you are prepared to GIVE all relationships are give and take your parents would understand and the kids would think it as an adventure the older ones would come and visit ITS YOUR LIFE LIVE IT
sorry if its not what you want to hear
