I left my dream home after my husband left my daughter and I.
I decided to sell for financial reasons, and to also move closer to my parents as I was pretty isolated where I was. If it wasn't for those two reasons, I probably would have stayed b/c I didn't think the memories bothered me that much, however, now I am in my new home I can say that living somewhere different has done a lot for my emotional wellbeing. I barely think about my husband anymore, I am just living my life. I feel really positive. I didn't realise how depressing it was staying in that house.
The other thing that factored in my decision making was that my old house was old and required/would require a lot of maintenance in the future. On my own, that is something I wouldn't be able manage financially or logistically.
I have no regrets!
