The Challenges of Being an Expat Spouse

What Unique Opportunities Exist Here?

What are the challenges you are facing as an expat spouse?
Do you see yourself here by circumstance or has this move been your choice?
Is this a unique opportunity or something you are tolerating until your spouse’s contract is over and you can go home?

It is important to realize that the experience you have is your experience and that it may differ from your spouse’s. You may love the place; they may not. Or it may be the other way around. Many people manage the move and then, after the initial glow of living overseas has worn off, one partner becomes unhappy. Often it is the trailing spouse, the one who is following his/her partner to this new location…you!
