I guess my wife is assuming I will go along with an uncontested divorce, i.e. we both agree that our son will primarily under her care without going to court. You see, I'm perfectly fine (not happy, obviously) with the arrangement right now, but if she goes out of state and I contest her taking our son, she will hang that over my head for the rest of our lives, because the court wouldn't allow her to leave the state, and I would essentially have hampered her dream of being a doctor. Not exactly the best way to win your spouse back. And from there, things might turn ugly with our son caught in the middle.

My wife has suggested in the past that if she moves away, I am more than welcome to move close to them. I told her I would've followed her to the ends of the earth to fulfill her dream IF we're in this marriage together.
