If that is where she wants to go and it's best for her career, you should be behind her decision 100%.
Wouldn't you want the same? |

Other than her being subjected to Liberal BS, I bet she would enjoy a visit to Occupied Amerika. Make sure to give her the standard issue tinfoil hat.

As long as you are confident that she will come back. Considering that she is your wife, I assume that you are.
I was stationed in California for 3.5 years, ending in 2003, and had a resonably good time, despite the need to learn Spanish and live without cool guns. Let her go. |

I lived in Redondo for 25 years, graduated at RUHS. Make sure she knows Spanish before she goes or else she won't be able to communicate with the "natives".

I've been there many times. It's right on the beach, in the summer months it's a lot cooler than the inland areas, and in the winder it is a warmer. The South Bay areas of So. Calif.(of which Redondo Beach is part of) has some pretty expensive real estate. Be forewarned, she may want to drag you to the Golden State. Also we do have earthquakes. |

I used to go to California all the time. Everytime I went, I'd take 2000 dollars cash. One day my wife said she was going to California by herself, and she needed 2000 dollars cash. I asked her why she needed the cash and she said that whenever I went I took 2000 dollars cash. I still didn't get it, I said. "You don't drink, and you have your own p*ssy!"

A short term stay in SoCal could be nice, any time of the year. Redondo Beach is a nice place.
Just don't get attached to the place. You don't want to stay and you can't afford it anyway. ETA: Comments about her needing to learn Spanish are BS. I live in a goddamn barrio in northern San Diego and I get along just fine speaking our superior language. |

Okay, I'm not trying to scare ya' or anything but there is something in California DIVORCE law that states that in order for you to file for divorce you have to have maintained a residence in the state for three months.
Would this mean that she could stick you for CA divoce laws? I don't know. But it's kind of a coincidence, huh? I may be just a bit gunshy right now due to my recent CA divorce. So there may be nothing to it, but... |

This is not good.
If she really cared about keeping your relationship healthy, she wouldn't go. If she does go, she has already proven her own wants, along with her friend, are more important than your marriage. And that's before she even steps off the plane, for three months in sunny Southern California, with a friend who is presumably single. Not good at all. |

I think it's a bad idea. Is it really fair of her to expect her husband to miss her for THREE MONTHS while she enjoys the Mother of all Girls Night Out?
I'd say that things are worse between you two than you think if she's even considered asking you. Nobody likes their girlfriend enough to the point that they would leave their husband for three months to save the friend from being alone. Any GOOD wife wouldn't want to be away from her man for 3 months. I think she'll go and not want to come back. That was my experience. Dave ETA: Let her go-you are just delaying the inevitable. Or, tell her you won't stop her from going-but she won't have a husband to come "home" to. |

Oh fer crissakes let her go. If you knew how many 19yo hotties there are on Redondo Beach in the summer you'd know how far back on the list your wife is. Would you rather bang a 19 year old in Redondo Beach or would you rather shoot one off in your wife? Ask anybody but you.

California is like any other place. What's with all the paranoia here? If you are worried she will cheat, or not come back, then you should get a divorce anyway. Give it a rest.

Agree 100% The question has to be asked .... Why would a person want to leave their spouse for 3 months ?? Is she saying that the ONLY place in this entire country she can get an internship is Ca. ? Come on thats a bit of a stretch isnt it ? One other thing , do you have children? either way its a dead issue for me but if you had kids its even worse. good luck |

Some of the finest physical therapy programs in the country are right here in MI, so that should raise one heck of a flag.
Let her go. While she is gone, move the guns to a trusted friends home, and lawyer up. Divorce is harsh on the male of the species here in MI. Use those 3 months wisely. |

More than half of all marriages end in divorse. There is also infidelity in more than half of all marriages. Married women who work outrside the home are more likely to cheat than married men.
So odds are greater than not that you will either get divorced or she will cheat. If her career is so important that she most move away for 3 months, then you need to go with her. Splitting up the marraige is simply not an acceptable relationship option. |

I live right next to Redondo Beach. If she needs anything, feel free to contact myself or my wife (I am happily married, btw), we would be more than happy to help out the best we can. I personally would say no to my wife, but we have a 7yo daughter that would be lost without her.

LET her? TELL her? You make her decisions for her?
If you trust her, what is the issue. If you don't, why are you with her. If she is inclined to do something, you won't be able to prevent it by ordering her. She will jsut do it behind your back. If she wants to go and doesn't because of you, she will resent you and it will cause problems. |

She wants to leave you for 3 months to go with her friend, when there are places that would be closer and cheaper?

Let her go, either way it will be good test for your marriage, assuming kids are not involved yet. Two things could happen.
1. You or her meet someone else and you find out that it wasn't really meant to be. Or..... 2. Your love grows stronger and it leads to a long and fulfilling marriage. Like I said, either way it is good. |
