So, what are your stories?  My husband and I are looking to move back as we think it will be less expensive in some ways and we tend to prefer the health care.  He is apprehensive a bit.  Have your SOs been apprehensive?

Looking forward to getting some great info here and hoping I have some wisdom to share along our way too!

Yes, my husband was reluctant the first 1 1/2 yrs that we were here together (he is a Brit and I am from the US). Over the past 4 yrs (almost) he has seen the UK through my eyes and sees a lot of the issues that he never realized and some he has on his own (he is very dishearted about his country and swears to me that this used to be an easy and not so expensive place to live). Ironically now he wants to move the the states more than I do (even though I do still teeter on the idea so it not a stretch). I remember in the early days when I would say I wanted to move back he response would be "well its not my 1st choice" and I was completely puzzled by that statement. Since we have travelled over a couple of times a year, he know feels more at ease there.


So you are not alone in your husband being a bit apprehensive as it is a big step.

Glad to hear that everything has worked out for.  I know first hand how stressful it can be.  I hope your husband enjoys it just as much as mine does. :)

Have your apprehensive husbands joined a site like britishexpats.com or british-expats.com?    I know it can be a good resource for after the move - we found them for my husband during his first year in the US.  But I imagine during the planning stages, it would be nice to troll around and see what actually British expats think about living in the US. 

Assuming they are completely unfamiliar with expat boards, warn them that there will be people who love the US, hate the US but feel stuck there, hate the US and are in the process of moving back, or love the UK and are in the process of moving back.  Not that I imagine I need to say this, but I strongly recommend you stay off the board and leave it as their private place to wander and vent as the move progresses.  You know the kind of homesickness/hate-it-here things that are discussed on this board.

well it is 6 days until i move, and david left yesterday!!!!! What a time we've had packing (nightmare), movers (Good experience thus far) and i'm working my last week at work (and traveling so i am not happy!!!!!)

my dh is not apprehensive in the slightest and he's been on DIA (www.diveintoamerica.com) and chatted with a bunch of people and feels secure in that little community.

I just can't believe it's so soon!!!!!!!!
