We did.
We just didn't do it inside the US.

True, though it can be hard for a USC to live overseas without holding a second nationality or getting a job transfer themselves. I couldn't have done it with my kids. I can certainly empathise with the wish to simply live and work in a country for a few months!

You could get married and both live in the UK - an option which has much in its favour...

Likewise. We just celebrated our 5th a couple of weeks ago, and things are still going pretty well. Good luck to everyone in a similar situation...
