He is my better half.
No, I don't HIS reason but expats usually share similar reasons be it to lower your tax burden (which you can do legally after a certain amount of time) or just find a new way of life. Since he said, "I really don't like living in the US" it would probably fall under one of those two things. His statement was fairly to the point and by the sound of it he could probably write an enormous list of things he doesn't like about the USA. But to his surprise he will also be able to write a list of things he doesn't like about any new place he may end up. While he may find a more laid back and cheaper lifestyle, which could up his quality of life, "paridise" is a state of mind, not a place.
Living abroad kicks ass. I think everyone should do it at least for a few years of their life if for nothing else than to open your mind to another way of living and thinking.
