Anyone else feel sad coming home after being away?

[cupofteapleasee]

Just got back home after being at OH's parents the past few days and I feel incredibly sad.

I love being around people and having dinner and breakfast together just watching films. Having other people to talk to I love it.

Now I'm back home to reality I could cry!

Anyone else the same?

Yes ! Just got in house is freezing, kids are bickering and no alcohol in the house. FML.

I always feel incredibly happy and relaxed when I go away from the town I live in, but happy to come back to the sanctuary if my house if that makes sense.

It sounds like you would be happier with more people around you? I take it things aren't likely to change for you anytime soon?

We don't live far away only 30 minutes but it's just been nice no work everyone relaxing in their pyjamas it's been lovely. Wish it could last a little longer x

@Eminado same here takes ages to heat up as well.

No, I feel blessed relief to get back to my own home after stopping in somebody else's, particularly when there's been a lot of people around.

Coming home from holidays makes me sad though.

No. I hate going away and love coming back!

Yes, me too. Just got back from a week back home with family and friends and although I'm about to go out to a party with lots of friends, I feel a bit bereft being back home on my tod.

I think it's quite normal to feel like this, even if you are glad to be in your own home again.

I used to feel like this after coming home from my DM's after
Christmas. She died a couple of years ago so we just spend it at home now. I know exactly how you feel though

Totally don’t relate

I love socialising but I absolutely adore coming home. My lovely cosy clean tidy wonderful HOME. Heaven.

Plus I have Nest. So I can remotely set my heating. So we walk in and it’s toasty

I’m also the opposite. Happy to visit people and nice places but nothing makes me happier than coming home. My sofa, my house smell, the best shower in the world, peace and quiet. It’s the best.

We've been away for Christmas but in a cottage 6 hours from anybody we know and I've loved it. I really don't want to go home. I've loved being away from everybody other than DH and DC for a while. Don't get me wrong I love home and I love socialising but I get tired of doing it all the time.

I don't mind going away, but I always love coming home, to my own bed, and own space.

I guess we are all different!

God no

I don't feel sad at all. I have as short a period away at Christmas as possible, and was back at work today. I'd rather have time off at other times of year.

Yes I feel exactly the same.

I’m the same.

We’re in a cottage a long way from home and reality and I wish I could stay here and hide forever.

Life has been pretty challenging over the last couple of years, and being in this lovely calm and tranquil place makes me realise how unhappy I am.

It’s not going to be any easier when we get back either.

I felt the same. We had an absolutely lovely time with extended family, 20 plus folk, food, drink, dancing, films, chat. It was a bubble of fun/love .... then I came home.

Yes! I have a good cry after a holiday. I spend a couple of weeks thinking back to it- e.g. 'I'd be sitting by the pool right now'. It's such a luxury not having to cook too!

Not really
I'm always excited to go on holiday, but we have pets and live in a lovely friendly little village so I'm always happy to get home.
DH OTOH would never leave if I didn't book holidays or arrange to visit family.

We went away earlier in December and DH loved it so much, he’s booked to go back in January. It’s usually me who doesn’t want to come home!

I’m not complaining though.

I could be a traveller, I think- with my own space, like a caravan though. I don’t like staying with other people very much.

I couldnt wait to come home to my own bed and own space. I can only tolerate larger family groups for a short period of time. I like being around people but then i like to retreat to my own little bubble.

Yes, I feel really flat. Stayed in an amazing hotel over Christmas and wish I was still there.

The best part of going away for me is coming home, my lovely calm cosy happy place, I don’t really like being away from it to be honest, being away from it does makes me appreciate it even more though!

I LOVE going home! Especially from in-laws!

No as we've not been away but we all had a good cry when my DM left after 3 fabulous days together!
