Long term plan with my bf are that in the next 5-10 years (probably nearer 5) we relocate from the south east to a more rural area which bf has ties to, closer to his family etc. There is a substantial price difference, meaning I could sell my current 5 bed semi and buy a similar sized, detached house and have money over (which I am likely to put towards either buying a small flat here - as we may need to continue working in London intermittently - or use to set 1 or both my DC up in their own homes, DC are currently 15 and 18).
I do look at what's for sale in the area we want to move to, and show the best ones to bf. Inevitably he looks at them and says 'why do we need a 5 bed house?'
He'd be happy with something 3 bed or less. But I want room for my DC (and his) to visit. Indeed it's possible my younger DC may even move with us. I'm conscious that we'll be 200 miles away from them and my friends, and people will want to visit and need to stay. AIBU not to think we should move to a smaller house than I have now?
