[quote=Anonymous]Thing is, you both screwed up.  You should never plan to get out of a purchased house 3 years later.  3 years is too short of a time frame for buying, and somebody should have told you that.  Real estate is meant to be a longer-term investment unless you're a professional flipper with no emotional ties to the property.  So live and learn.

Also, if she's living farther out than you'd want to live, you can NOT compare the houses.  My friend bought a gorgeous house - in Fredericksburg.  And later bought an even more gorgeous house - in Haymarket.  Both her houses have put both my houses to shame.  But I wouldn't want to live further out than I do now.  If you wouldn't live there, you can't compare apples to oranges.

hang in there.  things will turn around at some point, but for now, make the best of it.  There are a lot of folks in your shoes.  (and hell, I have a lot to be jealous of too - i'm single and most of my married friends have much nicer houses because they have two incomes.  that gets to me sometimes.  but that's life!)[/quote]
