[c=#4C0073] OK, guys I need help. I don't know what to do, and it's driving me crazy! My fiance' and I have been fighting for about 3 months over where we are going to live. He has a really good job in Colorado and a 2 bedroom apartment there. Our children and I have a 3 bedroom house in Louisiana (family owned). Plus, I have a really good career and a lot of connections in Louisiana. My career is transferable, but I haven't been able to find a good job there. I have a lot of education and certifications in the fields of Education, Behavioral Health, and Paralegal Studies. But, I only have work experience in the field of Behavioral Health and volunteer experience in the field of Education. I was just offered a position in the school system here that would be a big step towards allowing me the freedom to further my education, better pay, and allow me more time with our children. The problem is he doesn't want to move back here because, his career really isn't transferable and my family is a bit overbearing. Our relationship itself has been pretty chaotic in the past, but I can't deny that he has really changed and is undeniably committed. Even when we are at odds, we always end up right back in-sync. After 8 years I don't see us anywhere but together. I love him more than life itself, but I don't want to regret this either. [/c]

I have been where you are with my wife and because I love her and my job was transferable I moved 10 hrs away from my family. I miss them but she is my family!! My opinion is that if you can live on his pay until you find something then move. If not you move when you find a job where he is. Just my 2 cents.

@PTCdresser57: [c=#4C0073]Thanks for your input. Oh my family is pretty well to do, and tight nit. If I move, they will mostly likely be visiting every holiday and summer vacation anyway.[/c]

VioletRayne that would be nice of them. I am sure they just want you to be happy and having 8 yrs and children with him kind of makes it a no brainer. A house is just a house...you...your man and the children make it a home.
