YABU - beautiful town one hour from most friends and family, lots of culture, no local friends, good schools, could afford a semi-detached with a big garden and parking in an average area

YANBU - as above except two hours from most friends and family, some local friends, could only afford a very small house without parking or garden in a rougher area

Why do you dislike your friends and family so much?

I don’t, they live very rurally and I don’t have a career that’s compatible with living there

Eh? How is this even a question?

One assumes there are some factors beyond those outlined in the post, else why would you be considering the second over the first?

FrenchandSaunders · 09/10/2026 14:09

I don't get this! Obv option 1

CheekyBlueKoala · 09/10/2026 14:10

Why would you even be considering option 2?

I miss my home town and would love to be close enough to go there more often 😔being an hour away would enable day trips rather than overnight stays

So where's the dilemma? Bigger house in a better area, closer to family vs small house in a rough area further away from family.

The bigger house is the one that’s two hours away from “home”

The second one has some local friends which the first one hasn't, so is that the dilemma OP?

Not in your options it isn't.

Why so cryptic? This won't go well.

I think you might have written your post wrong OP, you’ve said in it the bigger house is closer.
