Hello and happy NY to all 
I would like to know if anyone has experience/info with a similar situation:
I'm an EU citizen (living in Belgium on an E card permit) and my partner is a non-EU citizen (who joined me in Belgium through a family reunification procedure, and residing on an F card permit since March 2021, valid for 5 years).
I now have a very interesting job opportunity in another EU country (short-duration, likely 6 to 12 months) and would like to know if it's possible for the EU citizen to temporarily move abroad without negatively affecting the non-EU citizen's residence in Belgium? If so, under what conditions (eg - max duration of stay abroad, etc)?
TYA for any insights!
