Fran,

Here goes my 2 cents

H and I moved 500 miles away from our family (8 hrs.) This was 8 yrs. ago. I was homesick for 4 years. I hated being away from my family but H loved where we moved to. We had a plan that we would move back in 2-3 yrs. Well, that obviously didn't happen. I always let H know I wanted to move back. Well, after we had the kids I got less homesick and more focused on "our" immediate family. Now, I would move across the country if we could be happily married and have H love me again!

H feels I have not supported his dreams by not wanting to stay in an area that would be more condusive to him persuing a career in golf. (warmer weather)

It's great to have family around but I think it is even better to be happily married and have a loving and supportive mom and dad around for the kids.
