Who wanted to go back first? You or your partner / children?

I'm curious to know which family member is most often the one to blink first when it comes to going "home" to the UK. I think my wife will be the first to say she want's to go and an old school friend just told me the only reason he's going back is because his wife wants to.

So how was it for you and your family?

Can I just ask, why are you expecting her to? If you're unhappy in Australia or she is, surely you should talk about it? Sounds to me like you're expecting to go home, or expecting to dislike Australia (or your wife). In that case why did you move over in the first place.

Your poll seems to miss two options:

I'm male - it was me that wanted to go back first

I'm female - it was me that wanted to go back first

At the moment there are only option for it being the OH, the children or the joint decision.

I agree with Rupert....I'm in the "I'm female - it was me that wanted to go back first"

You're right, I realise the obvious omissions moments after I posted the poll. However, I cant find a way to add options

From what I read, it is often females who feel they are missing their friends and family more. Us men are often happy to carry on regardless but ladies have a special like that can sometimes be stretched too far.

I'm just trying to see how true that theory is.

Kids for us were the unsettled ones, They triggered a chain of emotions towards myself and o/h
