hi all,
My husband and I have just recently moved house (still renting). Its in the same county, but we've moved from a quiet village back in to the city.
Problem is.......I really don't like our new place Its not that there is anything exactly wrong with the house, I suppose its just that having been in our previous house for more than 6 years then the whole change/new noises/new route to work/more traffic etc. etc. is just really hard.
I'm sure I sound like a right eejit to be whinging about it, but I can't talk to my partner about it as he is all excited about the move & really likes the location of new house.
Before we moved, I thought it would be fine - we were moving from a semi detached to a detached which is great as no more noisy neighbours. Thing is, this house is a lot older, needs a lot of decoration & just really doesn't feel like 'home' - which the previous house did from day 1 pretty much.
I have no choice but to stick it out for at least 6 months, but I feel that every night I stay there I am getting more & more depressed by it all. I went to old house to pick up remaining items last night & would have given anything to stay back there for the night........unless I can change my attitude then its going to cause major friction between hubby & I, and yet I can't just get the feeling of dread out of my stomach.
has anyone else ever felt like this? What did you do? How can I force myself to cope with the change?
Any advice appreciated, I feel like I'm going crazy each night lying there with my stomach churning.
Thanks in advance
