to ask if you got over losing your "forever home" in a breakup??

[AlliWantIsARoomSomewheeeere]

Just that really.
I need to leave, i think i knew that a year ago, but i talked myself out of it because we have young kids, complicated career set up between us and i really love my home, but wont be able to keep in on my own.
Feeling miserable right now. trying to tell myself it's material and not important in the grand scheme of things, but dont have myself convinced at all!
Is it better once you bite the bullet and let it go?

It’s tough
but you will make a new home x

What would your 'forever' be if you stay though? A forever of misery and unhappiness, that's what. All for the sake of a house. An arrangement of bricks and mortar that might look beautiful but contains none of the important things in life. You are going to have a new forever, one that will be much better, much more fulfilling.

This is what I need to remember!
I love my home and it's memories, but a house alone doesnt bring happiness.

I’ve lived in my dream home for 29 years but I am hoping I won’t be in it for a 30th anniversary! Divorcing after 30+ years of marriage and I know STBExH is devastated at the thought of leaving here - we’re both scared really. I thought I was brave enough to handle it, the split was my idea. No idea where we will all end up either. Estate agent due tomorrow. Mind you the way the market is who knows we might not even sell!

I don't feel bitter, just terribly sad. I kept our home post divorce but after a couple of years I was struggling financially and not coping with the upkeep of a large property. Now in a 2 bed starter style house and trying my hardest to make it a home. I'm getting there and hope that this next year I will feel more settled and at peace with my lot

29years is a long time, i am not suprised you are feeling scared, but I am sure you made the decision for the right reasons.
I hope it works out well for you. x

I ended up in the large family house with my ex having a 20 percent charge on the property. The rest I added to my mortgage as an interest only mortgage. I recently discharged the 20 percent and interest only mortgage when I sold and down sized after 15 years. I'm much happier in my new home - bought by me for me and I had time to save up and build my earning capacity to do anything I need on the house in future. The old family house was a bit of a burden but the kids didn't have to move.
