Would my lifestyle be better in Regina? Are we going to be able to survive on one wage (roughly $73,000), as I'm unable to get a job as I'm a PA.

Any thought as I'm loosing my husband who seems to love Canada more than me.

Your last sentence shouts the loudest to me, and I think you'll answer your own question soon.

Regina lifestyle won't be better, just vastly different to London so it depends what you want out of life.

Good luck :)

I also don't drive so worried if my husband is away for days on end that I'm not going to be able to get about.

So just to clarify a few points if you move to Regina;

1, you'd lose the very good job you love
2, you'd be in a new country with no friends or family
3, you'd be on your own much of the time
4, you may be "house bound" over the dark winter months


5, your marriage is potentially a little shaky right now

I would imagine you could get by on that wage though.

All that said, you might love it. It could be the best thing you ever did. Only you can know, once you live there.

A VERY different lifestyle that you need to figure out if you'd be happy with or not.

Thanks

Oh don't decide based on my posts. Just use them as part of your thought process.

You haven't really given much info so my assumptions on reality are just that.

A main question is, are you happy to drastically change your life to be with your husband? That should also help form a decision.

My decision was made before posted this I think, guess just a little doubt that I could be wrong.

Have look in January at the place and all your questions will be answered.

I think I decided without looking, my husband said this evening no matter even if it don't work out in Canada he'll stay there, so guess I need to make up my own mind, but to be honest he's made it up for me. So awful but life for him will go on, just will take me bit longer I guess

Thank u for that information very helpful but my husband confirmed this evening even if crap out there he will live basic lifestyle so kinda thinking he wants to be single an way out of a relationship he never wanted to be in

I'm sorry, that sounds very crap. If you do want to come to Canada, I'd suggest Vancouver between July and August.
