I’m reading red flags. Potentially he’s love-bombed you (look it up). He gives you attention, disappears, cycle continues. He’s hooked you on the little affection you get every now and then and you feel head over heels while really he’s manipulated the code in your brain longing for affection, essentially you’re an addict now.

I mean... she warned you that she was an emotionally unstable flake up front OP. She even gave you a practice run prior to you getting married. I'm not sure what you were thinking or what advice you need, other than DON'T MARRY A CRAZY PERSON NEXT TIME.

You’re absolutely right. Before I got married my coworkers and my boss got together for dinner. And they all encouraged me not to go through with marrying this woman. Taking care of somebody with mental illness is a difficult task. But I’m like that type of person that wants to help people even if it’s at my own demise. At the time it felt like it would be not a noble thing to do to leave somebody that I loved because they had this flaw in their mental. It seemed like a despicable thing to do. So I moved forward with marrying her because I loved her. And I wanted to do the correct thing.

What should you do? Do your homework.

Look into the demand of your particular job in Canada. Could you be paid just as much if not more in Canada? Do you know? I don't! Maybe find out. Can you work remotely? Same job but different location?

Your relationship with your mom - how much of that can be FaceTime, Zoom, letters, emails, texts? How much of your guilt is her whining and worry and guilting you and how much of it is you honestly wanting to stay? Figure that out. Is she in her 60s or in her 80s?

You want to stay in the UK because your 'relatives will get old'? Well sure, they will get old. But are they going to get crippling old in the next three years? Is everyone on their last legs? 'Will get old some day' is not the same as 'are very old now'.

And how would your family feel about you putting your life (and your wife's and your kid's lives) on hold for XX years?

Point being, sit down and think about it. Write a list. Do your homework, compare where you are now with where you'd be in Canada. Cost of living. Quality of life. Education for your kid. Job opportunities. And weigh it all.

You know - get your shit together and make an informed decision with your wife.
