I am so confused

DH just called me on his lunch to talk about our move. I should have said I was busy. lol He is stressed about my medical condition and may not want to go through with this. And I was the one apprehensive from the beginning!

We've done so much prep work already. He accepted the offer, we found property, are working on unloading business investments, started to empty our home etc.

He's worried about me and managing overseas. We talked it through before we made the decision, but his emotions are taking over. It's not as if anyone here helps me physically. I could understand if family played a huge role, but they don't.

Now I'm just sitting here confused and stressed watching the clock. I hope he doesn't have a late night tonight. I can't mention this to anyone IRL.

    Maybe it's just last minute jitters and nerves.  That big of a move is something that is bound to make anyone anxious. 

    Is there a reason you couldn't manage the condition in Geneva?  Do you live near specialists here in the states?

    I am at a good place with my specialist, but there's no reason I can't continue to receive quality care there. He said he is worried about me not feeling well and being outside of my comfort zone. I think it is just jitters, but he is worrying me.

    It sounds like he is just worried about you.  If you know you're ready for the move maybe he just needs reassurance from you.

    I am sorry your DH is stressed. Can I ask what your condition is? Hopefully after a couple of hours he will have gotten it out of his system and will feel better about the move when he gets home.

    He sounds like he just wants to make sure you are taken care of, sorry that there are last minute jitters--hopefully you guys can get back to a place of feeling confident about everything again.  Thats got to be tough looking at managing a condition in uncharted territory.

    Oh hun, I'd be anxious to get home and talk with my H too. I think he just needs you tell him that you are confident you will be fine. I hope that's all you need to do.

    I did tell him that over the phone, but I don't think he believes me. I don't function well mentally outisde of my comfort zone, but I am willing to make it work. I reassure him all of the time, but he knows the whole situation is going to be hard for me. I do want to do this. He thinks I am going to crack from dealing with the mental aspect of the move and my physical condition.

    I just can't wait to talk to him to see if serious about pulling the plug on this. I hate half in depth phones on the lunch hour.

    Thanks everyone. Maybe he just need to see me say it face to face. We talked about this in length before, but I think my current issues with my medication stirred it all up again. I was so nervous about the move, but adapted ok once we had a final decision. Now I feel like were back in the "up in the air" stage.

    That's sweet that he's concerned for you. I'm not sure what your condition is or where you are moving, but is it possible that there may be more medical options available in the new place? I would remind your husband that you can always call back to the states and speak with your doctor. I have a friend with rheumatoid arthritis and she has lived all over the world. She always scheduled her trips back to the states with trips to the doctor.

    Why would DH be home at a reasonable hour tonight? It looks like he's not going to be home until really late. So much for a long talk anytime soon.
