Well, you have to weigh things before making a decision. If he can't get the compensation he'll get in abroad from here, then it would be good if he'll work there, if not then it's best to stay. I must admit I am very dependent on my husband as well but I come to realize that it will not really do good for me. I have to learn to stand on my own. Life is full of surprises so as early as now we have to learn to depend to no one but to ourselves. Think what is important, the future of your family or your being dependent to him. Another option is for the both of you to go together. They said that it's better to leave the kids while they are still young than to leave them in their adolescent age because that's where they need our guidance the most. :)

I can understand you. You can a woman, you need your husband, and if you have a child, I believe your child is also can't leave his or her father. But you should think about your husband is a man, he has the responsibility to make you a good life. I think you should let your husband go abroad to work, after several years, when he come back, you'll have a good life. And you are an adult, you should not always depend on your husband, I believe you can deal with everything you come across after you husband go abroad. Let him go, for a good life.

yes i understand your view. let me ask you one thing. can't it be possible that initially he goes alone. after say 1-2 months he settles all and take you there? then all the purpose will be served.

from my personal feeling about this. Its always a risk to do that! There are many cases that marriages didnt work our due to long distance affair, temptations are everywhere but, if we are going to think the positive side, It will benefit your family! You will have enough or more than enough money for your children's education and to start a business someday and let your hubby stay with you! The choice and last decision is still up to you both, sit down and consider different factors! My dad worked far from us for like 16 yrs visiting us only a month every year! Its sad but its the only way so we can attain our education! After I finished college,I let him stop and im the one supporting them now!

I think when get married, no one depend each other, always side by side with other. No one like live alone. Everybody need to live with a part. Please don't depend on him too much. It will make you becomes weak. Please study of active to live without him

well, it depends. Will he be able to return home frequently? Like once every 3 months or so? In any case, with the current technology, you two can keep in touch with ease, through Internet or Mobile.

if it will help your financial status, why not? i know it is hard at first but later on you will cope up your feelings. normally you miss him but to think the advantage he can will help you to go through. i am very interested to go abroad after i finished my studies. this will help me and my family.
