No would not...
Then you have to ask yourself, if you separated from your partner would you go back?

Athough its not what I was doing in the UK, the years I've spent as a manager dealing with employees has given me a head start.... plus it seems employment law is a lot easier over here!

Im just wondering, those of u who moved to the USA via their US spouse, were any of u contemplating moving there before or not? Have u always dreamt of leaving the UK?
Id never thought of leaving the UK, even though my job as a casino dealer left me ample opportunity to travel the world on cruise ships etc!

My answer.....I just don't know. When I was really young according to my parents I always stated I would leave home and live in America! Well as I grew older I never gave it a 2nd thought, I love travelling and travelled various parts of Europe and I lived in Oz for a year, came back to blighty and was content on settling there never once went on hoilday to the U.S. One whirlwind romance later, I'm living in the U.S, own a home, drive a nice car, have 2 great kids bloody weird!
Yes I am proberly doing much better here than if I still lived in the U.K, but a big part of me misses it (my real home) and I still day dream of returning one day, I can't put my finger on it, I love living in the U.S, but I love my England too

Definately not ... as I've said before .. if hubby lived in Timbuktoo i'd be there instead, as for returning to the UK, I think I'll cross that bridge if I ever come to it.

Having said that, it seems less of a sin to be happy here than in England. And people are pleasanter - except when they get behind the wheel!

She finally deduced that she was the reincarnation of a native America, I believe she said she was an Apache in a former life. Anyway, she decide to stay, and now lives somewhere in NY I believe. Go figure.
