And want to move away? We moved from London to Bucks a few years ago. I’d grown up here and regret moving back. Nothing has changed & it will never feel like somewhere I want to be. OH on the other hand loves it. Anyone in the same boat?

Live by the sea absolutely love it! Would not swap it for the world.

I hate where I live. On a shitty estate in south london. Crime is rife. It’s grey and crap. Busy saving up to move to the coast in the next few years

I hate living in this region. Where I live within it is trying to make the best of a bad deal. I’m stuck here til DS finishes school though. 😩

Yes. Moved from London to a village about 2 years ago. I hate it. There is nothing here.

Yes. Mainly the estate though. Skanky neighbours. No support from the council or police as it's so crap.
When I moved here I never realised how miserable a bad estate would be to live in. I wasn't judgy enough back then.....

Following. I don’t hate where I live but I find these threads interesting.

All my neighbours are obsessed with building extensions and shit in their gardens even though they already have big houses and don’t need the extra space. It’s like a shanty town. They also love replacing things that don’t need replacing like windows. I’m sick of the drilling and banging. (It’s been like this since we moved 7 years ago).

Yes, it's basically an open-air prison in the middle of nowhere. Stuck here for another 8 years until youngest child finishes school.

Can you move again?

Yes, I’m afraid so. We moved 4 years ago to a more spacious house and garden, but I hate it. The road is a rat run and I’ve never liked living here. I’ve really tried - I’ve been to hypnosis to try and like it, but just can’t get used to the constant traffic. Husband doesn’t want to move, so I’m not sure when or even if this will ever happen. I feel guilty for feeling this way - it’s a nice house - just wrong area . Am also feeling like I’m wasting my life feeling miserable here. It’s been nearly half a decade!
