Can you go home again?

[AOIIBrandi]

OK here's the situation...

When I first left home to go to college I never had any intention of ever going back to live in the area I grew up in, I had lived in the same house my entire life and wanted/want to see other things. I have not lived in this area for 8 years, and my entire family still lives there.

Recently my husband was extended a job offer which included moving to another location (our choice from about 7). One of them is back to my hometown. He is really interested in living there b/c we have friends that live there, and the cost of living is much cheaper (more bang for your buck type thing). My biggest concern is that now my family and his (which will be much closer) will not be as considerate of our independence as they were forced to be where we live now (think Everybody Loves Raymond type thing). BTW I have a really hard time saying no to them b/c I don't like hurting people's feelings.

So, I guess I am wondering about other's thoughts feeling on the subject. Would you move back despite the family concerns?
