Imagine this scenario. Your partner has the chance of an assignment in another country, one that offers, in your eyes, a vastly superior quality if life. You are in a part time job that requires four months notice if you want to resign.
Would you:
a) wait until your partner's job was confirmed and then resign, which might mean that your partner moves to the new country before you causing a split relocation
or
b) tell everyone that you're moving because your partner has a fabulous new job overseas, you're moving for a better lifestyle and more money, and you resign in preparation for impending job move?
Can I recommend the first option. The second option could mean that you leave your job and your partner's impending assignment never happens.

Well - as always you've asked a questions and answered it yourself, dear.
All I can say is: "please don't go...please don't go..." as there will be a creepy silence here (as today)
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
Go go go go go
Those two choices are not exclusive:
You can tell people that you're thinking of moving, for all the reasons that you say, but obviously you don't actually resign until everything is finalised. Then I think you may find that they can't really force you to work for four months, and something can probably be worked that does not actually require a formal resignation anyway.
I know I didn't make it clear, but this is not about me (this time).
Do you think we are cauliflowers?

If you don't let me know your identity then how can I possibly judge your vegetable credentials?
