The biggest choice I have to make
My current job location is closing down and i have been given a choice to move to Tx and keep my job or start looking for a new job in the state I am currently in. I am ex navy and love being a machine tech, next to my son ita the only thing that gives me purpose in life. After months of trying to find a new job where I live and interviewing at a few places I have come up unfruitful in my job search. I have had many offers in Tx outside of the company i currently work for and have had to turn them down becuse my husband refuses to move even though this would create a stable income for our family and give us the funds to give our son the best life i can provide. My husband has been the down fall in many jobs i have had in the past amd i have had to explain in several interviews why in the past 4 years my job history is so sparatic. Would i be wroung to leave my husband for the well-being of my son and for the financial stability of him? I know this is a job site but i need some feed on what i should do.
You're right, that is a big choice and I'm sorry you feel forced to have to make one. Illinois for Texas is a long way to go for work and risk your son not being able to grow up around his father. I'm unsure if there are more concerns pushing you to make this decision but I think the both of you can always find a way to provide as long there's peace and harmony within your relationship.
Hi Lacey,
That is such a difficult decision and I am so sorry you feel stressed and upset! I agree with Morgan in that you should first speak to your husband and tell him how you are feeling. Perhaps the two of you could sit down and make a list of pro's and con's of moving to TX and work something out. Does he just not like the idea of moving in general or is it something really significant (family perhaps) that ties him to where you currently live? I wish you the best of luck in your decision and we are all sending you good thoughts and strength during this difficult time.
That is a really big decision. If you love your husband, I think that's something you need to talk to him about. Some couples sometimes have to live in different places for work and just visit each other when they can. If you feel that is something you could do, then talk to him. Maybe if you do move and the job works well for you, he'll feel more comfortable to join you.
Thank you all for the kind words and help.
