JenPen Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hey guys I hope you are all doing well..... So it is getting closer to the big move now - hopefully out by the end of November, not ideal but can't wait and we should both have jobs to go to.....hopefully! Anyway, I know this has been asked before but now more people have moved.... Who went ahead before their families? So did Hubby/Wife go and you went later with the children? Or were you the one that went ahead? Your experiences please? Is it worth it? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwen Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 My now ex husband (separation nothing to do with move btw) came before I did. In fact we have made 3 international moves and he always came ahead of me and the kids by a couple of months. He found rentals, sorted schools, bought a car etc while I packed up and sorted things at home. It worked well for us but not everyone can cope with the separation.

JenPen Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Thanks I don't think I would mind the separation too much.....it would be more exciting going to see him too!! I think it might be me though that will be going ahead to sort all that stuff as he has never had to think about it before.....but not sure, as I don't think I could be away from the children for a month! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey2645 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 I'm going with the kids at the beginning of November as we wait for hubby's spouse visa to come through. I'm really excited for it. We were separated for almost a year when he came to the UAE and I stayed in the uk cos I was pregnant and it was ok. He sorted housing car etc while I sorted selling up and giving birth. It'll be the other way round this time (except for the birth obvs) hoping it it will be worth it - sorting son into school so he can start at the beginning of the year, and me into uni.

Tigerbalm Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hi Jenpen My husband came out 7 months before me and the kids. It wasn't so bad! FaceTime and Skype kept us going and it enabled him to sort things out at this end while I wrapped things up in the UK. The only time it was tough was a few weeks before we moved out, he was just focussing on us coming out while I still had so much to do in the UK, we were on different wavelengths for a while and got a bit snappy with each other! We arrived a week ago and it's like we were never apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
