anyone ever moved to a totally new area in the country, then regretted it within a month?

[snellybelly]

that really. :(

I moved other side of the world, hated it for 5 months, then started to love it. Takes time to make friends and get used to it. 1 month is too soon to judge

You need to give it more time. It's horrible at first, it gets better.

I havent voiced this in reality at all. I dont think ds thinks much to it either tbh. I looked forward to this move! I have a nicer, bigger house. We loved where we were, but dh work brought us here and we thought oooh lets go for it!!

But I cant stop thinking that I dont like it here.......

would I be reasonable to give it my all for a year? And if I still hate it say something?

Absolutely, OP. A month is too soon to judge. If you still loathe it in a year, then move on.

I was told it would take 2 years to know if you like the new area or not. It's been a year and a half since we moved across the country and I still haven't made up my mind!

well at least I know how I feel is normal! even if I need to pull myself together !

Yep and still here 4 years later and still don't like it 😔 will have to tolerate it for the next 7 years and then hopefully we can go home.

Yes. I've moved a few times, made lots of friends and memories along the way.
The place I live in now, everyone ignores everyone. Not even the shop assistant has a smile.
Colleague are desperate to leave on the dot and rarely socialise with each other after work despite being told the complete opposite by the trainer.
I wouldn't waste your life if you don't have to, you only get one chance.

We recently moved to a different city and I absolutely love it: we knew instantly that it was perfect for us. In our last house, I never fully loved it. We spent 9 years there, and it took around 6 months for it to feel more like home. In the pit of my stomach I knew it wasn't for us. Don't hold out for another 7 year. Life's too short. xx

Yep.

thats the thing in my lifetime Ive moved quite a lot! Theres only 1 other time I felt like this (15 years ago). I wasnt a home owner like now, moved again after 6 months. I was soooo happy the day I left. Thats the only ever one time I felt like this. I know that if I won the lottery Id be on right move and off without a second thought! Usually Im sensible and when Ive moved it "felt right". Here it just doesnt , like the time I stayed 6 months....... Yet I was happy to come here!!

In my life I`ve moved house 17 times !!!! So I know to give it time and all that...... But its only felt wrong twice. The 6 months one and now here!

Ive moved a lot in my life. A couple of times I've really not settled and it never got any better. However a month isn't long. I think your plan to give it a year is very reasonable. Perhaps try and get out and explore more? Try joining a club or class? Know that you've given it your all if you don't stay.,

So what’s wrong with the place?

I moved 14 months ago and still hate it. I used to live in a vibrant city, we decided to move about 30 miles away to a small historical town so we could afford to buy a bigger house. DH wanted to live in the middle of butt fuck nowhere but I refused so we ‘compromised’. I hate it, I haven’t got used to it at all.

well we talked. We have agreed to give it a year and see how we all feel. Just knowing that IF we havent settled we can act makes me feel so much better!!! But Ill still try anyway. It doesn`t feel like a prison sentence today iyswim.

Yes! I knew the day we moved that it was a terrible mistake.

We stayed six months
