spouse cant wait to move

  Does anyone else have the problem of a spouse continually asking when the move will take place, also have you checked on the movers, dogs entry, flights etc etc?

  My spouse rhia seems to think about it all the time and asks the same questions over and over again.

I can see where it would come up if you don't have a definite time when the move will take place.  I suppose unless you have a firm commitment to be together at a particular time then there's always going to be some kind of doubt that it will possibly not happen.

We were quite fortunate and also very quick with the way that we did things. Firstly we decided that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together and we needed to be together in some fashion, either here or in the states.  So we went through all the options and decided that the best way to do it would be for me to go to the states and marry her there and I set a firm date for when I would go there. from 26th December - 17th January, getting married on 31stDec/1stJan. which was about 2 months after we decided that we would get married in the first place!!  

So there was no real time to worry about "when" or "how long" any of it would take, not for us any how.

Oh many a person does this...it's not just her trust me....I do it all the time...

Rhia may be like me...I think aloud...I need to bounce ideas off of others and then do what I need to.  Couldbe just pure nervousness.  

nope i dont think its being nervous, as we are both here together in Kentucky.    Shes already been and lived in the UK, and knows the area we are moving too.    There wont be any separation, we are coming back at the same time i think its just because she is really wanting to get back to UK and cannot wait until everything is sold and tickets etc in her hand.   We are going to come back a different way as well bit like a mini holiday.   Flying to Madrid in Spain buying a new car then taking a week to travel up through Barcelona into france, luxemburg, germany belguim then Paris before catching ferry to dover.

     

Can  you all stop by and get me and my DH?  Please?  Atlanta is not THAT far away from KY.  I know lots of nice places in Barcleona...

  Myabe if we can get enough people going at the same time we can charter a flight. lol

Your wife is dying to move here and l am just the opposite! l am dying to move back there! More money, better heat,   and so on.

So l see an opportunty here, You move here, and l will move back and rent your house from you Waterg! How's that?  

  Awwwww trish what a pleasant thought, but now you have HEAT you may not want to go lol    Send me what we want for the place and you can have it. lol   Going cheap.

Oh I'm sneaking into forbidden territory as I'm not a British spouse...hehehe.  She's just being a woman, G.  I'm doing the same thing to Steven all the time...just ask him.  It's just that you want to have everything set up ahead of time, no snafus...ya know?  Patience, G, Patience. hehehe

I think it's just a fundamental difference between the sexes. In my experience(not mentioning names), men seem to think things will just work out somehow. They don't seem bothered by details of how? when? where?, etc. Whereas women need a course of action.

Women are usually the "planners" in a relationship for some reason-it must be in our genes.

Just my theory. If I'm even ALLOWED to have an opinion in the "spouse house".

Every situation is different, but the person (male or female) who's moving to the new country will very likely be the one who's going be the most anxious for details and clear signs of progress.

Before Wishstar moved here, she was more concerned than I about how the moving plans were going (or, at times, not going). She was moving her entire life here; all I had to do was show up at the airport - it's normally a lot simpler for the welcoming party.

Since then, we've settled back into our natural characters and Wishstar adopts a more laissez-faire attitude while I'm so plan-tastic that I have spreadsheets covering everything from bills to exercise schedules.
