Hi, sorry if I've posted in the wrong topic, but just need to know I'm going to feel better.
We have recently moved house, about 20 minutes away from where we were before. Doesn't sound a lot, I dont drive and have gone from it taking 5 mins to walk into town to 20 mins. There are buses nearby, but the public transport isn't as good. We have moved from a two level house to a town house, had loads of built in furniture at the old house, need wardrobes, drawers etc here, only 10 days in, everythings a mess, wardrobe rails have broken. DH good at putting things togeher but quite methodical, likes to do one thing at a time, refuses point blank to have people in to build wardrobes. Also he has loads of stuff, did declutter before we moved, but still too much stuff.
I'm aware how irrational this sounds, but we moved from our old house because our DS2's room was tiny, we had had lots of problems with the house, DH needed a fresh start, he has been unhappy at work difficult few years for various reasons. Thought about a loft conversion, but we fell out with our neighbours a couple of years ago, didn't speak after that at all, very stressful.
When we decided on this house (buying not renting), I knew that it was a bit far out of town for me than it ideal, but thought it would be ok, could make it work, wanted DH and the boys to be happy. Was very 50/50 about it before lockdown, during lockdown started to feel that the move would be great cause we need more space, a fresh start etc.
I'm aware how bratty and immature I sound, if I had said no way to this house, it would have caused loads of bad feeling, resentment, husband says not, I ended up telling him how I felt a couple of days ago. Everyone keeps telling me that its a nicer area cause its quieter, but that doesn't do it for me. Know I'm not being very rational, suspect I'm menopausal (I'm 45), my own work situation isn't great, have struggled during lockdown like everyone else, so don't want to be flamed please.
I know I let this happen, but just really hope that I feel better soon, having to really push myself to be positive right now.A facebook memory of having exchanged on our old house came up this morning from 11 years ago, made me cry. Has anyone else felt the same but felt loads more positive in time.
