I'm just resigned, its really out of my hands, but knowledge is never wasted. Pharmacy is one of the main growth areas all across the World.
Your marriage can't just come second for a while unless you have citizenship. It has to end.

Arthritis is far worse in the UK than in Texas; the weather aggravates it.

If you've not got a college degree here, you're basically stuffed.

My USA wife refuses to move, so thats it:eek:

Moving back to UK mid Jan 2008, its been a good 3 years in USA, but I feel I've missed out on a lot of things.

Anyone else felt this way?

We are planning to move back in jan 08 too. Luckily the missus cant wait. I am sorry yours isn't keen but maybe she will change her mind. I hope so anyway. For myself - i will be sad to go, I dont think I have missed out on anything at all (only been here a year though) and I dont regret cming here for a moment. I saying to Mrs Sod just this morning as I looked at a gorgeous tree lined ridge against the pale blue sky of southwest michigan - shit love, I'm gonna miss this place when we got home!

Non the less, it has been an adventure and there are bound to be many more to come. I feel like I will appreciate blighty more having been away for a while. In fact, we might even go on holiday somewhere other than Rhyll for a change next year ha ha.

Anyway, good luck and hope it all works out for ya. Where abouts in lanc by the way? I have friends in Waterfoot mithering the life out me to move there instead of Mancehster. You never know :)

I feel so sorry for you. Marriage is all about compromise and sticking together for better or worse, yet your wife won't contemplate becoming resident in England, even on a temporary basis? You poor thing....do you think that counselling may help?

Perhaps she will change her mind when it dawns on her that you need to go back to England and choose to go with you. Would it help if she knew if there were any Americans living in the Manchester area whom she could hang out with?

Whatever happens, I wish you all the best.

Got a job as a aircraft refueller here, so that will do me good at Manchester Airport:lol:

Thank you for the kind and good advice.:thumbsup:
Obviously if your parents need you, your parents need you - but don't let 40 hours a week stand in the way of getting a degree should you wish to pursue one. I currently work full-time (45-50 hours/week on average) and am pursuing my masters - it will take me 2 years. At times it's hard, but it can be done.

Best of luck to you - sorry you're feeling down.

Were you planning on being here for only a short time? I thought it was for keeps :) And yes, has the lovely Molly lived there before? :)
