Hi Nicky,
I have some friends who talked about moving to NZ, but decided not to for many of the reasons you describe. I think a lot of people on the forum will feel some empathy with your hubby. Moving to the other side of the world is about as big an adventure as you can get, so I think some trepidation is inevitable.
NZ is a great place, but it doesn't suit everyone. In some ways, I think it's better to find out now than spend a fortune making the move only for hubby to find that he's desperately unhappy.
If he's suffering from a case of the great unknowns, get him to read "Who Moved My Cheese?" by Spenser Johnson. You'll find it in WH Smiths or on Amazon for well under a tenner.
