My husband wants to move

My parents and brother are here in Ohio. My husband’s Dad is in Montana and his Mom is in Florida with her husband and parents.

My husband just brought it up to me yesterday that he feel very strongly about fixing up our house and selling it. Then moving to either Florida to be closer to his mom and grandparents. He’s also been following this church that he wants to visit in Missouri. We’re both religious and he wants to get into ministry. He told me tonight that he would like to drive to Missouri this weekend and check out.

Leaving my family makes me cry as I’m extremely close to my one brother. I know that I can’t keep him from doing what he feels strongly about. I just feel like this all started after his grandpa passed last month. Like he’s having a midlife crisis.

I want to support him but I also want to be selfish and not leave my bubble. My comfort zone.

Did you ever have to move states away? How did you handle it? Was it easier or harder than you thought it would be?
