[GCFL-discuss] Siarlys

Posh, I don't know what world you live in, but my husband and I talk things out and come to an agreement.  No, one party is not as happy as the other, but that is life.  We don't have a relationship where he says and I do.  Sorry.  You touched a touchy subject.

  Yolanda,

  I know this one is for Siarlys, but I thought I should comment. 
  In September 2003, My one and only sister moved to boston, mass. She also took with her my one and only nephew. Her husband was in the military ans was just released. Before all this occurred we had BIG problems with his family up north. When they found out my sister was pregnant, they suggested abortion. (They are Catholics). They always complained about her beliefs when it came to her child and what it would be raised. When my sister was here, we were always here to comfort her and help her out. Her husband informed her that when he was released, he wanted to move back where his family is from. We were all shocked. But when he got his letter to show his release, she went along with it. We were supportive but not happy. My sister just said, " I go, where he goes." 
  Even though you may have good reasons for staying (like my sister), he is your husband. you can state your problems to him and concerns, but what he says goes. All you can do is pray to god for guidance, (proverbs 3: 4 &5).

  You need to work at what you pray for. You will thus prove that you have faith and that you really mean what you say. Only then will God answer your prayers.-Hebrews 11:6. 

  Posh

    Siarlys,

    Let's put this into context.  I will give you my example and you tell me how you feel.  My husband wants to move to GA because he has a sister, brother-in-law, and two brothers there.  Plus, all of the people from his little pueblito in Mexico have moved to this small GA town.  I on the other hand like GA, the mountains, the heat, etc.  But, we have 5 children.  GA does not offer the bilingual school that I have my children in.  My family is here, and I don't want to live with his sister or near her for that matter because she is from Mexico where the culture is different and the woman is treated differently.  My husband is a modernized Hispanc.  I mean to say that he does not go for all that "a woman should not work", "my wife should have my dinner ready", etc.  I believe that it would be in my best interest to not move because of the possible problems that could arise between me and my in-laws.  We have all been down this avenue I believe.  My question to you is should I make this sacrifice for my husband which will in turn sacrifice my happiness, and the type of education that I want for my children?
