Yes, and you need to stop turning every emotion into a referendum on the move. My husband loved Madrid immediately. I grieved for almost a year. Both were true. What helped was giving my grief a place: weekly calls with friends, solo routines, Spanish class, and one trip home planned in advance. I did not need my husband to dislike Madrid. I needed him to stop arguing me out of missing home.
