Wanting my husband to consider moving?

Question

Hi I have another question we moved to another state a yr ago with the promise from my husband that if I didn't like it we could go back home well I think it's a great place but not to live. But I also don't want to go back after visiting this past summer I realize that it's not a great place. However after visiting my parents I have found the perfect place that would meet everyones needs unlike where we live now. He isn't sold on the idea wants to just buy a vacation home there. But I want to move I have been set on it since I came back. My parents would only be in that state for another yr or two then thier job contract ends..so I am not wanting to go just because I have family there because when they move it will be farther away than it is now. I am an outdoor person my husband is a stay in type and the place I want to move has the beach in the backyard that is private for neighborhood only and you can ride the train to get to a major city in all of an hr they walk everywhere and the neighborhood has ton of kids and lots of walking places and it's like you can have the feel of being out in the middle of nowhere but you really aren't and you can sit on your porch (they are all huge and up high like a tree house) or sit at the beach which is a 2 min walk or go walking or take the train and go where it's busy the kids would have tons to do and the schools arer great. His job has jobs there too so I don't see a negative. Where we live now we have no family in the state so it's not like we'd be leaving anyone behind how can I get him to see where I am coming from and at least go visit it to see what he thinks? I loved it there and I know he would too our kids were crazy over it and didn't want to come home even though we just sat around and watched tv and hung out on the porch eating our meals out there. Thanks

Answer 1

He said he would buy a holiday home there.  So, agree to that and take him to go for a visit to look for a "holiday" home.  After looking around, hopefully he'll like the place as much as you and want to stay.  Sounds like a great place to me.  Good Luck!!
