I think it’s not possible. My husband and I have looked for two years. We have found nothing. The next step is for us to quit our jobs and move to N Amer with nothing, hoping to find something quickly. If there were remote jobs we could find and still live abroad, they are not advertised.

I’m too responsible for a Hail Mary. But no one (recruiter) will talk to you when you’re abroad. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Know where you want to settle and then find someone.

You and your wife should be ok with the decision. No one else has input. If this is what works, then this is what works.

But your wife is family. She should come because your family is her family and she also has to visit them. She should develop her own relationships with these people. That’s what makes it strange. If she misses a visit once or twice, it’s not a big deal. But if your partner hasn’t seen your family in years and it’s a pattern, yeah then over time your spouse becomes a stranger to your family. You develop relationships that your spouse isn’t part of ever. I’m guessing these people are important to you. And if you have kids they won’t get it. They’ll ask why. They will see the choices and ask why this parent chooses to use their vacation like this without them.

But everyone needs to visit their own family. If the partner won’t go it’s not a reason not to go yourself. Don’t feel guilty.

Living abroad is complicated.

What year does this data come from? Is this for a single person or family of 4?
