So Mrs Oct dropped a bomb yesterday- she wants to go back to Australia.
Not immediately but within a couple of years- probably 2015-16.
I'm not much in favour of the idea but she misses her family and her parents are getting older.
The problem I have is the Aussie music scene is much smaller- I'd be scratching around trying to make a living.
Also house prices in Australia are ridiculous- you're looking at over a million dollars for an average sized house in an area that we would want to live in.
The Aussie dollar is really strong too, so we'd be taking back half what we would have a couple of years ago.
So circumstances are not ideal and I'm pretty unhappy about the whole affair.
I'd like her to be happy, but at what cost?
At least I have a bit of time to decide what to do.

Well, no one else has spoken to her... as you don't know her, just print this thread, wrap in around a brick and throw it through a window she's near while she's working... that's always a good idea

Also would the situation be different if her parents were immortal.
If I were you, I'd think outside the box.... I did and the name that first popped into my head instead of Morena Baccarin was Monika Daneman - that might be significant.
or change career... nothing says I hate what you've made me do like getting a job working the day shift at the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully-charged icing anointment utensil...
I am sure science has the answers
