And that's not typical??? She'll change her mind once she lives in the UK. She'll discover it's not all BBC type England with afternoon tea and all...

Well. If the wifey would prefer to live in the UK and the OP is unhappy in the US, why in the world are they living in the US? A move to the UK is probably in order then both partners would be happy.

Maybe USC has children from a previous relationship?

Maybe the USC's work skills are not transferable?

Maybe one of them is still in education?

Maybe they have children who do not want to move or are at an age/stage of their educaiton where a move owuld be difficult?

There are tons of reasons why people stay even though they'd like to move...

I wouldn't know. I've never watched the Waltons or Little House on the Prairie. I did watch TJ Hooker in the 80s though!
