Husband is interviewing for jobs in San Francisco, we currently live in Seattle. Baseline plan is that he moves to SF and we fly back and forth on the weekends.

Pros of the plan:

-basically dream job for him

-will make his resume significantly stronger, set him up for getting good jobs after this one

-we have lots of experience doing long distance already (~6 years)

-sf and Seattle are same time zone and the flight is reasonably short

-seeing each other every weekend is pretty good

Cons of the plan:

-we're adjusted to living together now, going back to being separate will likely be hard

-it will be harder for me to get pregnant if we are around each other for only weekends

-we could miss some financial implications and it ends up being a less good financial decision

Market will resolve NA if he doesn't take the job, otherwise it will be resolved by us in 1 year.

Bet 'yes' if you think it is likely to be a mistake.

Bet 'no' if you think it is likely to be not a mistake

• Update 2025-05-13 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has provided additional details regarding the baseline plan under evaluation:

  • The husband's work in San Francisco is intended to last for approximately one year ("year-ish").

  • After this period, the plan is to attempt to get approval for him to move back to Seattle.

• Update 2025-05-13 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): If the creator also moves to San Francisco (which is not the baseline plan), the market's resolution will depend on the reason for the creator's move:

  • If the move is because 'we were miserable' (implying this was due to the initial long-distance arrangement), the market will resolve to 'yes'.

  • If the move is because the creator 'was no longer as attached to my job and more willing to move', the market will resolve to 'no'.

• Update 2025-05-13 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has stated that the costs associated with double rent and frequent flights were accounted for during their initial assessment of the San Francisco job opportunity. This clarifies that these specific expenses are not 'missed' financial implications, as referenced in the market's 'Cons' list.
