India- What should I do?
I came home in August after back packing round India, and the only reason I returned is that I missed my wife and kids. I had never been out of England before and was offered the opportunity to go, and I had always felt drawn to India so I couldn't turn it down. I didn't have the Hindu spiritual awakening that I thought I would, and I thought all the usual tourist attractions and buildings were shoddy and shite, but I found the people and their way of life amazing, and the more time I spend here, the more I miss India, this country feels nothing like "home" anymore. The thing is, my wife would probably hate it, she loves convenience and belongings, and I'm not sure I could cope with the thought that my children may end up with a shorter life expectancy than they currently have if I managed to talk her in to moving there. I think what I'd like to know is, will the feelings for it fade after time or just get stronger? Leaving my family is not an option, I love them completely, I just wish they had the same feelings as me, and I can't afford to just hop on a plane every once in a while, we haven't even had a family holiday abroad yet. I don't know what answer I'm looking for really. Make what you want of this question I suppose. Thanks.
