Default Relationship with the other half

Glad to note from other posts that we are not alone. Every big move has its dilemma. One area I am keenly aware is the relationship with your partner. Whoever is more enthusiastic about moving to TV will be the recipient of a punching back I believe. First of all you should never tell her to do certain things related to the move especially those areas related to clearing stuff. Even a small comment will touch off avalanche of comments. Let her go at her pace. I told her that I feel like being picked on every which way. If her pace is much slower than you, must keep one's mouth shut. Otherwise our new life in TV will be miserable. The whole point of the move is to start a new fun life in TV but if our relations are broken before the move, what's the point. We come this far together so this shouldn't be the straw that broke the camel's back. She is doing her thing going to luncheons with friends for farewells. That's a safety valve. It's home stretch I think but hope it is over soon.
