If you accompany her, you gain most of the key rights based on her rights. (You lose them if she leaves the country, or the relationship ends, unless you can maintain the rights based on one or more of the children.)

  Thanks! Someone should probably tell Denmark [1] > If you have grounds for residence as a family member to a (non-Danish) EU citizen living in Denmark who has independent grounds for residence in Denmark under EU rules, and you no longer meet one or more of the conditions, your grounds for residence will normally be terminated. This would be the case, for example, if you are divorced from the sponsor, if the sponsor has left Denmark or if the sponsor no longer meets the conditions for his or her grounds for residence. Given the weasel words in the following sections, I assume they do follow the EU rules when it comes to it, but that summary is deceptive.

Yeah, the main thing is that we'd both have to be resident in Ireland for several years. Which isn't something either of us want to do. I mean, to be fair, it's not reasonable for me (British citizen) to expect to be able to just have the citizenship of an EU country. I'm just jealous and angry that she (and our hypothetical children) now have a bunch of rights that others took away from me.

  Citizenship takes time and effort, but nothing prevents you both from moving to Germany to work, or Spain to retire. Next week, if you want to. I live in Denmark, and here, upon arrival your wife would fill in a 2-ish-page online form [1] and present a job contract (or bank statement with a decent balance, university letter for studies etc -- the standard moving-in-the-EU rules which Britain never bothered to enforce). You would show her job contract, plus your marriage certificate, and have fingerprints taken. The process would be similar in other EU countries, but may well involve fewer online forms and more bits of paper. [1] Which I linked previously
