Desperate for student accommodation in Edinburgh.

Ds3 is transferring to Herriot Watt from Aberdeen. He was going to share with four friends, but due to various circumstances beyond his control, that hasn't worked out, and three of the four have found other accommodation, so it's now just ds3 and his friend looking for a flat.

They've viewed and applied for plenty, but with no joy - his friend's term has already started (Freshers' Week) and ds3 starts on Monday, and they are still couch surfing.

They are looking for a flat near the university in the centre of Edinburgh - ds3 would prefer to be near his friends and travel out to Herriot Watt.

If anyone knows of anywhere that might be available, I would be so, so grateful - even if it was only short term, to give them somewhere to live whilst they search for somewhere more permanent.

Ah that sounds a bit better then, At least it's not a permanent feature of his behaviour. Just asking as we went trough a similar period and I found myself blaming myself and also really disliking him. It nearly broke us up. Anyway after a particularly bad period he said he felt he was depressed and at first wasn't willing to do anything about it. More frnk words were exchanged with the upshot being that if he wasn't prepared to even see if anything would help then why did he think that me and our DSs should just put up with it? Anyway, he's gone on antiDs and make some efforts around his lifestyle and we are getting on the best we ever have.

I look back now at periods of our marriage and understand why they were so difficult. It's not been me, it's been his mental health.

He has done/said some pretty shit things over the years and I understand where it was coming from. That said, I'm no longer prepared to just put up with it. We know that treatment helps, he's rather not be on the tablets and has said that he'd like to start a slow phase down to get of them. Im happy to support that but I'm not going back to where we were.

Hopefully the upcoming changes in work etc will do the trick for your DH
