That's quite a mystery, indeed. You are very good for not talking to H about his avoiding work - I know I'd be bursting at the seams myself. He must be in his "cave" trying to work something out - maybe it's a bit of depression too. My H is out of work and spending alot of time in his own "cave", but I recognize the "hiding" behavior.
Your H being interested in moving may be a good sign. IMO you should not think of it in terms of "running away"; I prefer "fresh start". It might just jump start your sex life too, kindof like a vacation does!
My H and I moved far from our families when we were in our 20's. It was exciting and romantic and made us feel very close - maybe I'm romanticizing it a bit, b/c it was stressful too - but I do hold my memories of that time dearly. I don't believe my H would be willing to move right now, unless he continues to have problems finding work, but I would do it in a heartbeat.
