CIP,

Your post seems a little unclear. Are you saying that you've received a job offer 185 miles away representing a 10% increase over your current salary?

If yes, then what is more important to you?

a. 10% more money, which you'll burn in commuting costs and other expenses and if you end up splitting with your W a lot more.

b. Your relationship with your boys.

This isn't even difficult. I'll tell you why. I just had the exact same scenario, but I gave up a job that was going to pay me 22% more in base salary and a lot more in stock and bonus. I declined the offer because I felt I needed to be around my boys as much as possible with my M seemingly headed to D.
