Decision time

I am in a dilema.

I miss my family and the weekends with them and they miss me.
My last job want me back and are negotiating a return. They are being a pain on the hourly rate.

My new company seem to like me as well and my mate wants to bend over backwards to keep me. He is offering something like 10 days here and 5 days off, and he is trying to think of a way to so I don't lose pay.

My difficulty in deciding is whether it's the time with the family or regularity with them that is the issue.
Also I don't want to make a mistake and cause a problem in my marriage.

If I am in Europe I can get home as usual on Friday night and return early Monday.
I can start to study for my new career.
I will hopefully get my normal money

In Abu Dhabi its hot and the family can have regular holidays
Accommodation is more expensive
Work is easy
2 year worth of work
