We moved from a small rented zone 2 london flat with DD (4) 6 months ago to a pretty commuter village. I wanted to be in a more rural peaceful location, was sick of london traffic and noise and DH chose the location as it has decent train links to london (about 25 mins to london but we drive to a local station.)
I generally feel good about the move, we have a really lovely house, but DH is struggling with leaving london. He accepts we couldn't afford a house in london (we could if we really stretched ourselves) but his attitude has taken any joy out of the move for me. He's always moaning about his commute, if a train is delayed or something he acts like it's the end of the world. He moans about not being close to things and not being near people he knows.
I don't know whether or not to take his complaints seriously or to see it as petulant whinging. He says he knows it's best for our DD but he's so negative he's difficult to live with. Not sure whether or not to suggest us trying to move back but in my heart I know this area is better for DD in my opinion and I don't want the upheaval for her. Just worry that long term he will never settle as in his heart he just doesn't want to.
