Feel like I’m losing my head

My husband and I bought a house in an area I have never liked since moving here, it’s a dated town in the middle of nowhere, the people are so different to where I’m originally from and I honestly don’t feel happy in my environment, if anything I’m so stressed and depressed by it. My husband bought the place before we met because it was affordable to get on the property ladder and it’s within a decent proximity to his work. I didn’t sign up for this, I don’t want to be this kind of mama around my little 9 month old. I’m so conflicted because I was happy before and now I feel trapped and resentful. We don’t have the funds to move and it’s causing a strain on the marriage on my behalf because I literally want to up and leave. What would you do?

So your husband bought the house before you met and you've all just moved into it? Where were you living before? And what exactly is wrong with the town

Whichever option will have you talk it out with your husband and peace come from it.

Life is what you make it, I also moved from a city like atmosphere to a dead town with nothing but old people, I’ve learned to like it, I try to find stuff in my area. I take long ish drives with the baby and to try and find stuff nearby or as close as possible. I would try to make it work for your family, especially if it’s all he can do right now.

@Ariyana I would do this but if you absolutely can not do it, then just talk to your husband and be honest on how you feel about this place you are at. Because it’s your life and you shouldn’t live somewhere you hate

@Monét Yes, we married relatively quick after meeting and moved in together 4 years ago. I was living modern city life two hours away. It’s so dated, lifeless and old fashioned, it’s literally filled with people that have practically never left

@Yanet My thoughts exactly, I’m still an individual who needs to look after myself and my baby. I have been honest and spoken to him about it, but it’s just a waiting game until we save and can move. Or until our fixed rate mortgage is expired next year October. I just don’t want to waste anymore of my life miserable

Is there nothing to do where you live? Churches, gyms, baby groups etc?
