This movie was written to have so many specific explanations, but it in the end she yields her ambitions to the those of her husband. She abandons her city and her country to save her marriage and yield to the wishes of her husband.
She could have stayed in Chicago and just turned down the promotion and continued on as an art professor. She will have to get an extended work visa to stay and teach long term in Italy and she will have to put the Atlantic Ocean between her and her best friends.
To me this seems like a complete sellout. He yields nothing and she yields significantly. I really don't like the message of this movie.
If this doesn't work out, she loses a marriage and goes back to America with nothing. She is risking too much.
