Convincing The 'other Half' Of Moving

[Phil Croucher]

Salesmanship - don't sell the move but the benefits . It's certainly on my list of retirement places.

My motto is "Happy wife, happy life".

 

Make sure that not only you gain from the move. The new house should features she wants, but doesn't have right now. Let her know that you have put money aside so she can fly back home whenever she wants.

 

Good luck.

Don't know what to add to the 'house'. Live in an appartment, and due to a divorce (for both of us actually) there won't be one for a while. Spell SHAFTED...

 

Anyways, good tips all. Thanks. Now I just have to start SELLING...

Relationships are about compromises, for both parties involved. From past experience it works 50% of the time. In the end, the only way to find out if it'll work is to just do it.

 

All the best in your endeavors.

Well she just might!

 

Thanks 'tappet'!

 

Compromises work too I know, but don't know what the compromises would be.

 

I think the best thing is to drag her there kicking and screaming, and let her find out for herself how nice it really is!

 

I mean, we have been in London for about 2 years, and we have met virtually NO people here, just since we started working out, have we actually met people, and we see them only when we work out.

 

When I was in Gander there were people around all the time, and we were friendly with neighbours and you could strike a conversation with anyone. Heck lat time I was there I had to walk to the corner store to buy some food to tie me over the storm that happend upon us, and I had a good chat with people at the store, just because I ventured out! (Had to walk 4 blocks in about 3 feet of snow). Even the day I left, I just happened to see RDM there too, when he was digging his car out.

 

But I guess, the ties to the home are hard to break. and if she can manage to find a job here, I'm screwed! (lol)

 

Cheers
