we bought a new house a while back. I saw another one I really liked, dp didn't view it. We opted for one and bought it. We have lived here a while now and it's still not sorted and I hate it. I really regret having chose this one and I'm mostly ok during the day, but every night i lay down and images of the other pop into my mind maddening me.. I can't sleep for it.
i keep thinking about how all the problems we have with this house we wouldn't have had with the other.
I try to be rational and tell myself I need to get over it and accept the choice and try to like my house for my own peace of mind, but then the negative thoughts just push their way back in.
I hate our house. I hate the fact there are constant problems with it so long after moving. I hate the fact I wish I'd gone for the other house. I think I made a big mistake.
How do I stop the regrets circling round my head?
Not just with the house. I agonise over every decision, google and search and compare endlessly, then finally make a decision and often regret it. Wtf that all about? I know it drives dp mad.
I also look back at major life decisions, choices, paths I took and regret them.
But the house is the big thing and I am here all the time and I feel trapped. How can I come to terms with it and stop the horrible thoughts going round and round. The teeniest thing, even the light bulb going sends me over the edge now. But there are big things too. Like after x months our tv still doesn't work (connection rather than appliance). It's my house but not my home. I am not happy here and it's really starting to affect me.
