Hi Nicole,

I hear you on the confusing...BUT...there comes a time when you have to put yourself first and foremost top priority.

By asking for aid in moving, I don't believe this is the sort of pressure DB mentions. You are showing that you're moving on with your life and doing it with everyone's best interests at heart. You could say you're taking the pressure OFF H because you'll no longer be a constant reminder of how selfish he's become!

You're not pressuring your H to follow you, give up his career or bang on about your relationship...you are trying to get a job where theres more chance of better pay and reward for you and your daughter. Be strong, don't waver on this if it's truly what you want and believe to be the best course of action for your life to flourish.

It's a scary process, leaving behind what we've grown used to, but I feel you're strong enough...You deserve a life you want to live.
