I am, totally completely.

Live in Australia. Am an Australian. Lived in Scotland for a long time before moving back here, now nearly four years.

OH loves it here in Australia, has great job. loves it. DD started school, loves it. Finally found a lovely new house (long lease) in a great location. Dog now settled. Loves digging holes.

I Want To Move Back to Scotland NOW. I miss the landscape. The accents. The People. The Banter. There are too many things to list.

Utterly stupid. Can't move anyway due to restrictions. But I Just Want To and Will Never Settle Here Despite Everyone Else Thinking It Is GREAT. So 'Un-Australian' of me.

But really, I cannot get the thought of moving back out of my head. As mentioned, I am Australian but lived in Scotland for just over ten years. What do I do? Nothing I suppose.

IABU unless you tell me so.

[quote wellhelloyou]@JuniperFather I'm missing something here, I didn't start a thread with the title AIBU?!

How long would you give it? I know it's hard for non-expats to understand if they've never been in my shoes. Four years is a long time, how long do you need to make a decision on something?[/quote]
No I didn't misread. "AIBU," "IABU", "WIBU"...it's all the same bloody thing. A post title that reflects the forum title, with no information in the heading, is just clickbait. It's unreasonable.

@Sk1nnyB1tch ha ha yes it's not exactly a pop around the corner! I just meant that they're the closest. Thank you for your advice, taking it onboard. OH is quite a bit older so it's harder to just move about again, let alone s po ridiculously expensive. The next move, whatever it is, will need to be the one for the next 15 I would say.

Good advice about a bit of future planning. I'm trying to really appreciate what we have. Thanks for your response Smile
