Does anyone have experience of living in the uk with dc whilst dh is abroad? My dh travels so much when we are there we might as well be at home! Even weekends he works. If he is in country, he is in meetings and work load is high til late. He is fed up too but he is there for the money- in the uk he wouldn't earn so much and he wants to further his career and maximise his earning whilst he can. this is ok by me as he is doing it for us ( and him) but I am starting to wonder. We talk about his workload a lot but he won't change.
I do everything for the dc which is fine, I like that, but I don't really like it here ( middle east) and would be happy to leave.nI have friends etc and have been here a number of years ( no maid, don't want one)
My quality of life would be better in the uk but not his! Would it work? I can't imagine it but I am alone so much I wonder if i would rather continue to build my social life at home than in the ever shifting sands of expat land. Plus I miss the UK so much.
