Vicki, whatever you do, keep the lines of communication open. Be sure he knows exactly how you feel every step of the way. By the way you speak of him, I don't think he would push you to do something you are totally uncomfortable with. You never know, you may become more comfortable with the idea the longer it sits. I think the Keys would be an inspiring enviromnment for a writer.

I have a friend whose husband got the job offer of his life four hours away. She's moving. He has very much accomodated her through the years. She believes it's her time to accomodate him. The fact that it's in a beach town helps!
