I couldn't disagree more. The standard of living is much higher in
Florida than Singapore. People don't have to pay half a million
dollars to live in a 500 square foot "people warehouse" in Florida
like they do in Sinagpore. You don't run out of things to do in a week
in Florida like you do in Singapore. The laws are not nearly as
oppressive in Florida as they are in Singapore. You don't have the son
of the President taking over Florida like you do in Singapore (you get
his brother instead). :-)

Now to answer the original question, if the guy doesn't want to move
to Singapore but his wife does, he needs to sort out between them what
to do. Not to search on the web for excuses to use. Some people
actually *DO* like Singapore (though for the life of me I don't
understand why).
