"Ever since my husband
and I married I have been eager to live in one particular
neighbourhood. The houses in this area are quite pricey and my
husband has worked hours and hours of overtime to make it possible
for us to buy where we are now. However, although we moved in five
months ago and I have tried to settle in and make friends, I find
myself hating living here. How can I tell him all his hard work was
for nothing and that I want to move house again? I feel isolated
and so alone and just know I will never settle here."

DENISE SAYS: Your husband wants you to be
happy, that's why he worked so hard for you to be in a position
to buy in the area you now live. That means he will understand if
you really can't feel happy in your current home. However, I
don't really think five months is long enough to know whether
or not it is the place for you. I imagine the first weeks were
taken up with unpacking boxes and settling in, so you've really
only had a few weeks to make new contacts. I would go along to your
local library and find out what is going on in the neighbourhood.
Make a real effort to join any groups that are available and take
your fancy - that's a good way of making friends with the
locals. If at the end of the first year in the area there has been
no improvement, at least you can say you really tried. My guess is
that if you head out and meet people you will find you really have
found the house of your dreams. If I'm wrong then I am sure the
husband who worked so hard for you will understand why you need.
