DH HATES where we live but can't afford to move

[NosyRosie]

Basically as title suggests.

I'm on maternity leave and, although I'm a teacher, have no job to go back to so therefore have no idea what money I'll be bringing in when I go back to work.

DH earns very little.

He hates our house/village so much it's scary. It makes him angry, causes arguments etc.

He's desperate to move but our mortgage is so low because of interest rates that any house we rented would be double the amount we pay at the moment.

We can't get another mortgage because our current mortgage isn't portable and our income is so low that we'd never get one.

He's never been the most sensible person when it comes to money and practical choices, but now we've got DD I'm trying really hard to make him see sense and be more responsible.

I honestly don't know what the answer is

What are his issues ? Sometimes a move is good but not if he is likely to take the problems along too. If he is so keen to move he needs to motivate himself to get a better job and/or you need to find work to make it happen. If he just gets angry and frustrated could he be depressed ?

He loves his job and he's good at it; it just happens to be badly paid.

I'll be going for any teaching job that comes along but at the moment there's very little around.

The main problem is that he wants/needs this to be instant but that's just not possible.

I think I got his hopes up the other evening when we were talking about moving but then I made it clear that it couldn't happen yet and he was really cross.

He's not depressed, just sometimes gets angry.

Could you rent your house out and rent one to live in? Not sure how financially viable that would be though.
