Genuinely curious. I'm happily married, DH is great and hands on with kids, big house in a suburb with good schools etc.
But I keep fantasising about "when I move out" - where I'll go, what kind of property I'll live in (ideally much smaller and somewhere I can walk to the shops!), how I'll keep my space organised/tidy etc. For example DH will make the kids tea on Saturday and then serve it to them in their rooms or in front of the TV, and I always make them sit at the table so any time he does this I think "when I finally get to live in my own place and DH doesn't live with me, there'll be no eating allowed in bedrooms!"
It's got a lot stronger lately. I'm not even 40 yet and I am thinking more and more about where will be more sustainable to live if we become infirm or ill or lose jobs or ability to drive. I mean even if I do ever move out on my own, the kids are still small so it won't be for at least a decade. (This is DH's forever home, he’s not budging!)
Anyone else find themselves feeling like a teenager who can't wait to move out of home and be independent?! If not, what the hell is wrong with me? 😆
