Question of the Day

My husband is wonderful, but unstable. We’ve moved 16 times during our 18 years of marriage. He says each move is to find a job with more opportunity. When I bring up my desire to settle down, he promises we can stay, so I become involved in church and the community, and then we move again. I can’t get attached to any place, I’m depressed, and I feel as if I can no longer function. What should I do?
This many moves are not normal and it’s not healthy. We’ve worked with hundreds of couples, including military coupes, who have moved a lot but in our experience this sets a new record. We’re amazed that you and the children have been able to endure the instability this long. This is a complex situation and there are issues that you need to deal with, that your husband needs to deal with and that you need to face as a couple.
