My daughter and my granddaughter live 300 miles away and I want to move near to them but my husband just isn't keen. We are both retired and have few reasons to stay where we are and he can't come up with any good reasons why we can't move. He just keeps saying he likes things as they are and then goes into a major sulk. We've been married for more than thirty years and I don't want to leave him to go by myself, tempting as that occasionally is!! But I also don't want to waste the rest of my life living somewhere I really don't like and away from my granddaughter. He has no friends here and the things he does here (gardening, walking), he could do better down in the south-west (of England) where I want to go. And we live in a too big house here on a new estate with noisy kis all around, whereas we could have a nice character house with a big garden for him down there and plenty of great walks. AIBU to expect him to uproot himself? I really think he'd love it once we'd done it but I'm getting so frustrated trying to get him to shift himself!! :-(
