I got married in August. I had a big job opportunity in Chicago, making great money, so we moved up here from central Indiana. She had to leave school at that time to do so; she has about two years left.
She has now decided that there aren't any schools in Chicago that offer what she wants to take (Marine biology or zoology; she was doing Mass Communications before, but hated it), and because of that she can't be happy here. She is basically saying either we move away from Chicago or she leaves. I travel a lot in my job, I'm gone about four days a week, so she's arguing that she should decide where we live if I'm going to be gone so much.
I could probably convince my job to let me move and switch offices, but A) I like it here; B) I don't think she really knows what she wants anyway, and so she won't be happy anywhere; and C) I do not want to set a precedent of her being able to get what she wants just by threatening to leave.
Am I wrong to refuse her on this?
