Scenario - you move back, and in 10 years you are 60. The kids stayed in the US and got married. Grand kids are coming along one after the other. You aren't together at Xmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, etc. Wife can't help with babysitting. Grand kids are getting closer to the other grandparents. Don't think your wife is going to be a very happy lady.
Why don't you try living in a different state? It would be a fresh start, and exciting to try something different. You are probably bored with NJ. If it was me, I wouldn't want to leave either.

Five years later, and now with two grandchildren, and having researched other options of where to move to, or if to move at all, the pull of moving back home has overcome our reluctance to leave the family behind.
Though I wouldn't bank on it.

You should go home if you're feeling so inclined. That scenario above is just a fictional concept. What if...blah , blah. Talking about babies who haven't been born, missed holidays (there are airplanes ), the threat of yet unborn getting closer to the other grandparents. No offence to Mallory intended, but that's all goofy, IMO. No one knows what the future holds..you have to do what you feel is right inthis moment in time.
