"How to emigrate without destroying the family unit

"My spouse and I have been married for five years, together for eleven. We have two young sons, aged three and one. We reside in the United Kingdom; I work remotely, and my wife works part-time, primarily from home. I immigrated to the U.K. with my family of origin twenty years ago from Africa. While I have adapted to life here, a strong desire to return to my homeland persists, intensifying annually, despite lacking a secure financial plan for such a relocation. My wife has expressed opposition to this move, leaving me despondent and resentful. The prospect of relocating alone is devastating to my family. Remaining in the U.K. is undesirable; I yearn for the potential autonomy and opportunities of my home country. I am uncertain if I can persuade my wife to relocate, further fueling my desire to leave. I seek guidance on resolving this conflict or achieving a mutually agreeable compromise. before I do something I may live to regret."
