Hi everyone, so I’m always lurking but never really posted before! I currently live in Buckinghamshire - I grew up here and after having many years and our kids left London and came back. Probably pretty cliche stuff but low crime rates, better schools etc. On paper it ticks all the boxes - we can commute into London, good schools and childcare, grandparents on the doorstep. My kids are happy here and so is my OH but I’m not. I just feel like I’m trapped in a time warp of all the old things I’ve done and places I’ve been. It’s feels like the mindset around hasn’t changed in 30 years And it’s suffocating. I enjoyed our time in London, Yet on reflection I feel like I’ve made a mistake. OH has said he’s open to looking elsewhere but I don’t know where he would be keen to go or where I want to go. I liked the more left/liberal vibe of London, And just somewhere ppl are more relaxed and less up tight and preoccupied with money & status. I feel like I’m unhappy here and that’s not going to change. I need new adventures and things to do and ppl to meet. And just a bit more of a mixed bunch! Lock down has made it worse as we’re here day in day out.
Has anyone found themselves feeling the same and where do you go?!
We’ve been here 4 years so I’ve given it time but really want to try and find somewhere new
