MOVING HOME ALONE ......AND TO A NEW PART OF THE COUNTRYThank you CaroleAH, that is really reassuring. You are right about the baby steps. Am looking up little properties online in my chosen area, don’t really know anyone there yet (ages since I lived there) but will get out and meet people. Don’t think my husband will even notice that I won’t be living in the family home all of the time, he just does his own thing!ViewDate:

MOVING HOME ALONE ......AND TO A NEW PART OF THE COUNTRYI will E7D, it may take a while though! I hope I can get used to being more practical when I am staying there too, can hardly keep ringing up my husband for help with burst pipes etc can I? Haven’t lived by myself for so long, and son and daughter live miles away. Time to face up to a new way of life!ViewDate:

MOVING HOME ALONE ......AND TO A NEW PART OF THE COUNTRYThank you everyone, for your positive replies. I actually live near the sea now but want to have a bolt hole inland! I shall go ahead and investigate the area I love, there are parks, specialist shops, buildings of historic interest etc., to explore. Always feel as if I have ‘gone home’ when I visit, getting excited already!ViewDate:

MOVING HOME ALONE ......AND TO A NEW PART OF THE COUNTRYHi, I`m new here also. I`m not single but live with my husband as friends really, after many years together. We do not want to separate, there are many advantages to staying married for us. However I am very independent and like to do my own thing, I have inherited some money from relatives which is mine to spend. I like where we live but really want to have a place of my own too, at the other end of the county, about 25 miles away. I grew up there and absolutely love the area, visiting is not good enough! My husband is set in his ways and won`t move there permanently but has no objection to me buying a little holiday home for myself. He has a hobby that takes him away quite a lot anyway. Am I being selfish or weird? I do love the idea but get a niggling feeling that I will feel guilty because I shall not be doing the conventional thing. Love reading about others who have moved away.
