Dear Care and Feeding: We just want to live our lives on our terms.
My fiancé and I are big on traveling. Over the years we’ve been together, we’ve enjoyed longer-term trips away and also a stint of living abroad for a couple of years too. Since coming home we’ve realized that we preferred our life abroad and have started exploring options to move back across the world. We both have jobs that can be easily relocated and no house/pets/kids.
When she heard that we are planning to move abroad permanently, it seems she panicked and the next time we saw her she really offloaded her feelings—which are: She thinks we’re taking away her future grandchildren from her; we’re being selfish for not wanting to be around our families at home; we’re not considering the fact that she won’t be able to visit us and that we haven’t thought about how she will cope when she gets older It got a little heated and we were both very upset by some of her...
It’s been a few weeks now and we’ve tried to be reassuring but we are running out of patience…Especially me! It’s understandable that she is sad at the idea that her youngest is moving away from home, but equally her lack of support and unsupportive words is hard for us both to bear. Do we need to set boundaries?
