[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:58, thank you for that post.

I’m in a unique situation where my husband picked this house and he loves this house. He’s crushed to move. But I’m the one home all day. This house is so difficult for me.

He’s insistent that every house will have issues and I’ll never be satisfied.

I hope that’s not true.[/quote]

You and I sound like the same person! I’m an NP, and definitely get it. I’ve lived in many places, including some that were cheap and/or pre-furnished and/or temporary and barely furnished, and my current home of 10 years is the only one that feels all wrong. And it’s my husband’s condo from before we got married. There are many things I enjoy about the place, including the leafy walkable neighborhood and the 100-year-old building, and we’ve fixed it up to be reasonably homey, but something has always been just … wrong. I’m not usually woo-woo about things, but I almost feel it’s the energy flow. There’s nothing we could do in terms of renovations that could make this place feel right.

(So why stay, right? There are always reasons. For us, it’s a combination of financial factors, my husband’s attachment to the place, and inertia in the face of the awful process of home sale/purchase/move.)[/quote]
