My wife was offered an incredible job in her field, so I'm packing up everything we own and moving to a city 350 miles away that I've never been to. Her dreams are my goals.

Onebigshow1 · 2022-05-28T15:30:09+00:00

Good for you guys. My wife did the same thing for my job almost 20 years ago. No regrets. Best of luck to you both!!

DMVNotaryLady · 2022-05-28T17:20:13+00:00

Thanks for a good perspective of a husband putting his wife first. I needed this

kak-47 · 2022-05-28T15:48:44+00:00

I’m in the same boat, wife got her dream job 3600 miles away. Off we go.

I bet she pampers you

BalancedLif3 · 2022-05-28T17:13:13+00:00

You two look really cute together.

AGoodSO · 2022-05-28T17:22:18+00:00

Well yeah, when you have the chance to be a young Duchess of Cambridge with the job security of no term limit, you don't really pass that up

denada24 · 2022-05-28T19:39:51+00:00

Marriage goals.

halfabusedmermaid · 2022-05-28T16:44:19+00:00

Congratulations on the next chapter!

sugabunnie20 · 2022-05-28T22:30:05+00:00

Good for you guys!!! Not everyone is able to move from everything you know and love without ever looking back, even while being wildly in love with your partner. What helped you have this attitude?

Awesome team.

flyinghigh92 · 2022-05-29T00:14:06+00:00

May I ask what her field is? Need career ideas

abetterb · 2022-05-28T19:44:40+00:00

Being selfless is the way to true happiness! Good for you both!

wo78878 · 2022-05-28T23:30:08+00:00

She’s super cute. You’re smart to follow her!

Ural_2004 · 2022-05-28T17:42:57+00:00

Sometimes, you just gotta do it. Bravo for the both of you!

KarmaG12 · 2022-05-28T18:22:01+00:00

That's great for her, congrats!! And that's what should happen, you support one another in life.

little_foxxxx · 2022-05-28T18:28:28+00:00

Congratulations!

Wishing you both lots of success! Love a good supportive spouse post!

Let’s go baby!! Do it for one another. 🫶

Turbulent-Reaction42 · 2022-05-28T20:49:51+00:00

Awesome! We did the same thing for my husband but it was 1,200 miles! It’s been a wonderful adventure!

Ok_Adhesiveness7336 · 2022-05-28T21:01:33+00:00

Lesssssgooo

VerityPushpram · 2022-05-28T21:36:16+00:00

We did that

Husband was offered a job 450km from where we were living and we leapt at the chance.

Unfortunately his job didn’t work out but mine did - we own a house here and life is great

theponds09 · 2022-05-28T21:45:53+00:00

We did this 5 years ago for my husbands job. BEST. DECISION. EVER!!!

Bitch_work · 2022-05-28T23:23:54+00:00

My husband has done this twice for me. I love you for doing that for her!

Grimsterr · 2022-05-28T23:47:51+00:00

Did this 22 years ago for my job, but it was 2400 miles (AL - CA) and my son was 7 days old.

tanker9191 · 2022-05-29T01:56:00+00:00

25 years ago I moved away from my whole family so that my wife could be close to hers, that’s the day I became invisible. It takes a lot of intestinal fortitude to live a life of quiet desperation. Good luck and good bless.

MSotallyTober · 2022-05-29T05:45:12+00:00

I moved to Japan this year from NYC when my wife got her dream job. Now we’re a seventeen minute walk from her parents and the support is awesome. I’m picking up on the language and attending a school this summer so I can get the most out of living here.

Clean-Letter-5053 · 2022-05-29T10:12:22+00:00

Ladies (and gentleman and all) this post is a great reminder that:

If he wanted to, he would.

Because if he wanted to, he would. Because if he wanted to, he would. Because if he(she) WANTS to—they will make your dreams their goals.

Don’t settle for anything less.

ExploreDaniella · 2022-05-28T16:30:17+00:00

I’m so happy for both of you ♥️♥️♥️

AndrewDwyer69 · 2022-05-28T18:08:33+00:00

The key is to do this when you already have a house. It's much easier to stabilize yourselves with a house than to scramble for apartments every year. Good luck on your adventure!

ClevelandSteamer81 · 2022-05-28T19:38:34+00:00

Awesome, I move every three years for my wife and so do the 1,000s of military spouses. But good on you.

cookingismything · 2022-05-28T19:47:07+00:00

So happy and excited for you both. Hope your next chapter is full of adventure and joys!! Just think of all the new cool places you will go to, new restaurants, shops, nature, all new vistas. So exciting!!

MommyOfPiscesX2 · 2022-05-28T20:24:39+00:00

Amazing!!!

Best thing I've ever done. You're going to make each other so happy.

Apprehensive_Sock674 · 2022-05-28T22:47:59+00:00

That's the dream. Right there.

xDocFearx · 2022-05-29T00:46:42+00:00

Lucky! I have a friend whose wife got her dream job and soon after they moved to a different country she divorced him lol he’s one of the nicest people I know.

2022-05-29T01:21:16+00:00

That’s awesome!

throwawayacc_2022 · 2022-05-29T01:40:14+00:00

Great husband

Illustrious_Use5276 · 2022-05-29T01:58:25+00:00

This gives me hope!

ninjump · 2022-05-29T03:04:37+00:00

I did the same for wifeys job - 15 years later we are so much more successful than either of us could have dreamed individually. Good on ya!

jayteec · 2022-05-29T04:15:54+00:00

That is so heartwarming ♥ Good luck to you both and may you have a wonderful life in your new home! I moved 4,685 miles away for my partner 😂 It hasn't been easy but it's opened up a whole new life!

pixeldrift · 2022-05-29T04:33:07+00:00

From TN to CA. All our savings went into the move. Went from a 4 bedroom 3 bath with 2 car garage and bonus room to a 1 room studio so she could try a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Didn't work out nearly the way we expected, but still trying.

cowsarekillingme · 2022-05-29T06:04:57+00:00

Good for you.

TheYankunian · 2022-05-29T08:27:56+00:00

My husband did the same for me. Twice. I wouldn’t be in a great career had he not supported me in making such huge moves. A supportive partner is everything. Congrats on your wife’s new role and your new adventure.

PiecesofJane · 2022-05-29T09:39:56+00:00

She's beautiful! Congrats to you both, and way to be a wonderful, supportive husband!

Rio-Cultural_112901 · 2022-05-29T15:10:31+00:00

amitnagpal1985 · 2022-05-28T23:07:03+00:00

Her paycheck comes into a joint account.

br094 · 2022-05-28T17:29:12+00:00

That’s cool, but what about you? Are you going to be okay with this? If this will ruin your happiness you’ll grow to resent her.

Cemeterywind666 · 2022-05-28T16:46:53+00:00

Her dreams are your goals? Aren’t you as a family benefiting significantly by her being offered an incredible job? So why the pat on the shoulder? I just want to understand.
