Be very carefull here you are in the middle of a divorce, if you leave the house he can claim you abandoned him, the laws are different in all states but I would check with a lawyer before you do anything. |

I recently did what you're doing - (only my husband died) :(and let me tell you - apartment life is SO different than living in a house with a yard. I'm not used to it yet but coping. I wish you all the best and you got a great deal !! I pay that for a one Bedroom here in houston and I'm not in the best part of town but AM close to my job. Tiggerwit's right - it's a big change. I feel really lucky cause I did find a downstairs place WITH a back patio in a nice courtyard - but it's still an adjustment - I think if I had free rent - a home with a yard Id have stayed but then again - NO commuting is also a BIG PLUS - so congratulations - I hope your move goes well...It is kind of nice to look around and say this is all mine and you don't have to spend hours driving to work - cleaning and mowing grass |
V - you brave woman you. Bottom floor freaks me out. |

the patio won. This weekend I hope to get a canopy for it - I have indoor outdoor carpet down and can open my back door... and they can out they go in the mornings and night even though we go on 2 walks a day but - that's the reason I chose the bottom floor. But you were so right talking about what a hassle it is having pets and moving from a house to an apartment - walks are STRESSING ME OUT - I worry so much that something is going to happen and it has - 3 times. Lucky for us - we had a good ending but man - it only takes a second .... I MISS THEIR YARD and they do too.:( |
Sorry to hijack thread so V I'm PM'ing you. |
I say get him to move out. The house is paid and it was your moms so your entitled to that house. You can easily change it up and make it a fresh start in your new single life ( a coat of paint goes a long way). But if you feel like the new place is a better situation for you then go for it. Maybe sell the house and sock away the money for a rainy day or for when you decide to buy again. I know owning a house is a lot of work but I find it worth it because after all the sweat and bills you own something vs paying someone elses mortgage. Property is a nice investment for when we get older. You figure there is no note on it so the gas cost will still be less than paying for the new apt. |

Either way honey. I wish you well..you deserve to be happy and have your mind and soul at ease. |
My daughter is 25 (we are really close) and from the many talks w/her, I had a sneaky suspicion that this was the decision you wanted deep in yr heart. What makes me really happy for you is that you have your Mom's understanding & backing you up on your decision.:D I know you feel better that the decision is made & now you know the direction for the future. How exciting! I'm cheering for you :2party: you seem like a very responsible, loving young woman. :2party: I wish you all the best in this exciting new venture! |

I completely understand your reasons for moving. My situation was a little similar. When I moved from Virginia to Florida I left a home I spent my childhood years in. It had a lot of memories but no matter how much renovating and updating I did it still felt like my childhood home. Now that I'm settled in Florida I have my own home and it feels like mine, you know?;) Good luck in your home and job. I'm sure you will do well. Sometimes a new place is very refreshing and it's like starting a new chapter in life. :) |
I hope everything goes well for you. If you truly are a city girl then i say go for it and think it will be the best, you need a fresh new start. |
I'd take the extra money you're making and redecorate;) AND make new memories there with friends and loved ones. I hate to think of you and the pups in an apartment when you have a perfectly good house/yard:eek: I know you're hurting, but I have a sneaking suspicion that you'd be hurting no matter where you're living----so why not stay put, ya know? Hugs!:girl_hug: |
Good luck to you on your move! I hope it IS INDEED the FRESH start you seem to need so much! God Bless!:) |
K here is my :twocents:...I was married for 15 years (knew my ex-husband for 3) and got divorced back in 1992. Yes a lot of memories (good and bad) but I would really, really consider staying in a home that is rent free with a yard for your babies (renting an apartment with doggies is tough):(. I would save your money and if you want to start erasing all the memories then I would start to redecorate.:D:D:D That will take your mind off things and give you a fresh start. Hey - dump the bed and buy yourself a new bedroom set and mattress set. That way it will be a "clean" start. :yelrotflm:yelrotflm:yelrotflm |
