We moved to our current house from SW London, early last year, so have now been here a year. The house is on a busy road which was a huge issue for me when we moved and, it has got hugely better but it still gets to me. As well as this, I just cannot love the house or the immediate area/house position; I struggle with anxiety associated with this on a daily basis. Everything else in my life is wonderful, husband, part time work, 2 lovely children, nice friends and lots to do here. I grew up in another part of the UK, and still have dreams of moving back there which is near my mum, and only an hour and a half from where I live now. I haven’t spoken to my husband about moving as I know it’ll upset him; we put a lot of time and money into moving into this house, and have since done it up slowly, with some rooms left to do, I know he thinks we will only waste or lose money if we move, plus our son starts school locally in September and it would unsettle him also. I guess I am after some advice on this, what would the best thing be? I don’t talk to anyone about it because I know there is no easy fix but it causes low level anxiety daily. I feel I’m trapped here due to finances and I would have to unsettle my husband and children. Thanks for any advice you can give.

You need to talk to your husband. Explain how unhappy you are. I wouldn’t stay somewhere I wasn’t happy. Money is only money.
