Understand a wife wanting to live there. My experience has been the opposite. My wife, and the wives of friends who we have traveled to Europe with love Europe. My wife wants to move to Europe when we retire someday.(honestly that is our plan)
I would also love to live in Europe in some of the places that we have gone. Maybe not for the rest of my life but certainly for a period of a few years I think would be awesome. As such, I can see why Bryant or his wife would find it an interesting and exciting opportunity
