When usually, you have to honk the horn fifty times or lug a bunch of stuff to the door and drop it if you're expected home with groceries, but this one time, you came home, and the spouse didn't expect you to bring home anything, and you asked them, Wow, you're being awfully nice to me...what aren't you telling me? and they said, rubbing your waist a bit and kissing you, Nothing, I just want to ask you how your day was....
And then they say, How do you feel about moving to the other side of the country if I get a job there?
What would you think and feel?
Keep in mind, they've gotten your hopes up before, and you've finally given up and started your own very rocky climb on a ladder, so to speak.General Opinions, Please: If your spouse came outside to greet you lovingly as you got home from work...?
I'd feel like he already got the job and in his mind his bags are packed.
If you are on a rocky ladder now, maybe things could work out for you too. You won't know unless you go. If you aren't in love with your work now, and it is not stable? then what have you got to loose????General Opinions, Please: If your spouse came outside to greet you lovingly as you got home from work...?
I think the spouse receiving this question would be right to be extremely upset that her/his spouse showered affection only as a way of maniuplating her/him.
Otherwise I guess I would think to myself, ';Yeah, right, what's the big plan this time....';
I would say that he is excited about the possibility of the new job and he couldn't wait to share it with you. I would also say, wait for the details before you get excited. SOMEBODY has to keep a level head about things like selling a house, finding housing across the country, figuring out the actual cost of living over there so he can negotiate a raise that more than covers the increase in cost of living ... etc etc etc.
Don't shoot him down yet. I know you've been disappointed before, but be supportive even if you aren't excited yet.
I would be supportive and not look for things to get angry about. I would never consider not following him there either. What kind of marriage would you have if you live 3000 miles apart!?
Seems like marriage vows do not mean much anymore :(
Do you think he just ended an affair and is under threat of her calling you? it seems similar to my situation.. Just remember lots of people cheat. and most of the time its just a symptom. I am working mine out. I love my husband so much...
