Internal struggles about moving to Spain

13 years ago
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum. I landed here because I wanted to hear about other expats living in Spain.
A few months ago, my wife (an American) and I (a Spaniard), both living in the US, decided that we would move to Spain in a few years and make it our permanent home from then on. She was really excited about it, seemed to welcome the change and the "adventurous" nature of such move and even began to blog about it in what she called "the pancake merienda".
That was a few months ago. Now she has begun to have serious doubts about it and I can see her internal struggles with the idea. I believe it's mostly fear of the unknown, of leaving behind a fairly comfortable life in the US for something uncertain.
I would like to hear (read) from other expats about their move and decision making. Mostly about the doubts, fears, etc.,...any such feeling that surfaced in the previous moments/months and the outcome of the move (did it meet expectations? fell short? etc.)
Highly appreciate any comments or input.
