Calgon, take me away

[judecorp]

So the formal offer came in from Florida and it's pretty much everything Jen wanted. My prediction is that she will be out of Massachusetts in a month's time. Sucks on many levels, but I'm especially dreading finishing all of Dad's house stuff by myself.

She has to make her official decision tomorrow and let them know. If she accepts and goes, there's really no need for me to keep that infertility appointment - I wouldn't want to go through that whole arduous and emotional process alone. I've been waiting so long for this, for the possibility of this, it's just... augh.

Having to afford a second apartment down in Florida would mean there'd be no money for airfare/visits.

So far, 2006's not looking so hot, either.

I just realized this might be insensitive because I'm sure you've talked through all of this so many times already. Please know that I will support you in whatever choice you make. I just want to see you both happy and content. Perhaps the best way to do that would be to move to Florida.

You could still try to get pregnant even if Jen weren't there, i'd imagine..... get a baby going and then head down south? Just an idea. ;)

get a baby going and then head down south?

That sounds a lot easier than it is. I'm anovulatory, and have PCOS and all kinds of other infertility crap that will make it so that this is not an easy process, and is likely to take a long time and be emotionally difficult (and possibly very disappointing). The idea of going through all of that alone - fertility drugs, inseminations, getting hopes up, probable failed pregnancy tests, etc. etc. - is not something that I really want to go through. Nor do I want to plan and conceive a child without my wife. Would that ever be suggested to other couples?
