Health issues suck eh Azur...
..I find them more maddening than anything! I know what you mean about wanting to get back to it all in a big way!

i say follow the employment. neither job nor location can shatter true
love, it's just another bend in the road.

azur, I often feel that way too, and almost said so.  hope it works out for you both.

Ginnieb
it's a big decision I believe and tough when each of us have good reasons for wanting our careers to move forward. Mine has been interrupted by health issues a lot these past few years and I feel the need to enjoy my work.

Holy..that could be one huge dilemma, Azur...
..sounds like maybe you are both up for challenges??  Does it feel exciting or totally overwhelming..or maybe, both?

naorem, perhaps it will be made simple

mneme, sometimes I think it might be best if my partner
and I put a continent between us. Indeed metaphorically it may already be that way.

Julia, thanks, it is not easy when there are several sets of needs
to consider - individual and collective

Blanche, as far as I'm concerned all is on the table

Does this mean that you have to choose either his job or yours, Azur,
but not both?

azur--
being offered both would certainly require some careful consideration for how to resolve the dilemma, but I'm sure you will figure it out.Of course, being single I don't have to make these kinds of decisions, which is nice on the one hand and not so nice on many other hands... ;-)

Azur
I think you could make it work if you both wanted it to, and I know of one couple where the wife is in the US and the husband in the UK.  It can be done, although it's not easy.  I wish you well in your decision-making.
