I hate the fact that as David's looking at universities world wide, one of the considerations is will me, as a US citizen, be able to live there? Because there are quite a few places that being American is at worst deadly, at best constantly harassed. But if I was from a different english speaking country, I'd be fine.
I would feel too bad on this one. I think this more falls into a two person equation kind of thing that every couple ends up fsacing in some manner. taranos spend about 5 months trying to find a job because there were lots of openings - in other places but I was here so he needed to stay here too. At teaching job fairs, I was limited to Tucson because I needed to become employed where he's employed. I know another student teacher who had all of her teaching contacts here but was trying to find a job in Pheonix because that's where her new hubby got a job.
On the other side of things, perhaps you can also make a joke out of it. "America's still a pretty country compared to everyone else. I think we're still having our difficult teenage moments at times - we don't always realize what we're doing or the best way to go about doing things and we sometimes drive everyone else a little crazy while we're sorting it out."
