((HUGS)) I guess it depends on how much money it's for. If it is a lot more and the cost of living is lower than where you are now, I'd definitely say to go for it, you can always change the weather with flights ;)
ew... that's no good. Can I ask what part of the country? Maybe we can think of some good things about it! I'll probably be in the same boat this time next year when my husband starts looking for a new job.
I will lose my job though...and of course there is no guarantee I will find another given the economic climate.
I can honestly say I've been here. FI and I both grew up in the midwest and 3 years ago he took a job in D.C. Neither of us had ever lived further than across the city from our families, and I can definitely say it was a life changing experience (for the better). I'm sure you can find SOMETHING good about the possibility of moving for your FI's new job? I know it's hard, but it can also teach you a lot about yourself and your relationship. Hope everything works out for the best, whatever that may be for you both! :)

I know how you felt. When my husband graduated last May, he had to find a job anywhere because the economy is sucky. He got a job in Alabama and my first thought was Alabama? What is there to do in Alabama? But you sometimes have to take a job anywhere because at least it gives you job experiences and then you can move somewhere else. I'm sure you could probably find things that you like about the place if you do some research.
Hmm, that's strange that he wouldn't even consider your own happiness or job. Granted, it's just an interview at this point, so nothing's set in stone. However, if he's offered the position, you guys will obviously need to talk. Moving to another part of the country is a big deal with a lot of factors involved, and it's definitely worthy of a full-blown discussion, taking into account BOTH parties' feelings.
I had to laugh because after spending ten years in Portland and the last two years in Arizona we're hoping to move back to Cleveland!!
ugh - that is tough. But times are tough for everyone, and you have to do what's good for you and your family - even if it means being unhappy yourself. Things like this are great tests for your relationship. If you can get through this, you can get through anything...together!
Good luck!
@northernazbride - haha!! To each his own, right?? I guess my largest concern is moving somewhere I don't know ANYONE and having to make new friends and find a new job.
Well, if the interview goes well and it's something he's interested in doing then you guys will have to sit down and have some serious conversations. Take it from me though, it's not good to live in a place you don't like... I hate arizona... but you can always visit the place and see how it feels to you. I know all about starting over though, it can be really tough and scary and lonely. I hope it all works out!
I'm sorry that you and your FI might have to move but the midwest is a wonderful place to live. I'm from the midwest and have lived here my entire life, except a brief stint in Boston. Yes, it will be hard to find new friends and a new job, but really it is a GREAT place to live. Where in the midwest is the job?
Oh...hmmm. Yeah I don't know if I would be very excited to move to Iowa either. I drive through Iowa whenever I visit my parents and I must say, it's not the most interesting of drives, but I'm sure it's not that bad of a place to live in. And two hours isn't that far.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
My FI is interviewing for a job in a part of the country I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN. He knows how I feel about this but says, "A job is a job". While this is true, I don't want to be miserable!! I don't know if I should be happy or upset!
