We live in his home town near his family and friends so I don't feel I have anyone I could stay with.

My parents live 2 hours away, I'll probably have to go back to them if I leave but my job (and DD's nursery) are here.

I'd have to hand in my notice at work and have to go to work for a month with everyone knowing whats happening and I'd be totally useless.

If I tell DH to leave (while I work my notice) he could easily stay with his parents but then I'd be on my own in our home with DD and no friends/family around at the shittest time of my life and he'd probably make me feel guilty about making him leave as he has put a lot more money in to the house.

I think it would be difficult to find a new (part-time) job back in my home town AND find a nursery at short notice to fit in with the hours.

We have a mortgage, child, cat, joint bank account and a house full of stuff we'd have to sort out.

I'd feel horrifically guilty about taking DD 2 hours away from PIL who look after her once a week and adore her.

DH would obviously still see DD, so I guess I'd be coming back here every other weekend or so.

I'd still have to see him.

I'd feel awful about our parents having paid for most of our wedding and all the guests who spent money on a present and/or staying overnight, it was less than 2 years ago.

Has anyone else been in this position and done it? How awful was it?
