My husband and I have decided to put his house up for sale. HIS house...not OUR house, as I've never really felt like it was mine to begin with. He and his ex-wife (who had an affair after 6 months of marriage) bought the house together, so you can imagine why it has never felt like home to me.
I've tried to never rub it in because it isn't his fault after all that I don't feel 'at home' there. There have been times where I've gotten frustrated over the lack of space, not near where either of us work, etc. and I can tell that it hurts my husband's feelings. I've avoided too much about it in front of him because I can tell it frustrates him too.
Not to mention that the housing market hasn't been the best, so we've tried to hold off selling it as long as we could in order to gain equity. However, after having watched the market go nowhere fast, we decided we might as well sell it.
Not to mention that we can't start a family until we get into a bigger house. Plus, I'd like to finally have a home that is OURS. A place we can pick together, decorate together, and call our own.
I've started boards on Pinterest for home decorating, design, and items. It helps me get a flow of how I'd like to decorate the new "future" house. Thankfully the hubs has liked all my ideas so far :-)
So, Cheers putting the house on the market! Cross your fingers that it sells quickly and well!


Yikes! Yea the hosing market is sooo difficult these days. You gotta market it the best you can, put lots of pictures up on the web so that no one who's looking will miss it! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteIt's a sweet house with a lot of character, but it just doesn't have enough room to have kids in. It's a 1920's bungalow, old wood trim, original wood floors, custom cabinents. It's just a CUTE house. I could see an older couple loving it.
