How the move goes really depends on how my wife reacts to it. I suspect she will be excited and see it as a chance for her to start over. She hates Orange County and blames it for many of her problems. I worry she might see it as me abandoning them but more likely she will suck it up and move and couch it as her daughter needing her dad.
If she gets excited about it that is great. We may not live together or have a perfect relationship but one area she excels is researching and project management.
I need her excited because she will figure out the schools, the neighborhoods, even the houses. Her being on board and involved will make the process easier. She will work the moving aspect possibly.
