- Let’s move, I said. Let’s go live somewhere else. Let’s go south, where there are plenty of job opportunities for the both of us, where the surroundings are beautiful and everything is so much closer.
My gypsy soul is feeling restless and trapped in this town. I have lived here for a total of 17 years and I feel that’s more than enough. I want to see something new, live somewhere new. We live too far north, too far from the continent, too far from the rest of the world, and I’m bored. I already know this part of the country, now I want to get to know a new place. I want us to find a new town, get to know it together, make it our own.
- No, you can’t just move like that, he said. You can’t move to a new place just because you feel like it. That’s just not how it’s done.
Why not?
If you want to move, you can do it! Of course your husband will have to see the possibilities and advantages of doing this. I moved a lot when I was younger and it opens up so many new things to you. We are thinking of moving now and plan to try and visit some other places that sound good to us, instead of just picking up and moving there! Don’t give up yet!
I moved to Switzerland 6 years ago just because I felt like it. I’d never even been there. I just decided to move to Switzerland. So, of course you can just decide to move somewhere. The possibilities are endless!
You sure can….. and if you don’t you might also regret it. – Good luck Joe
I agree with Joe. You’ll never know if you don’t go, and you don’t want to always wonder. Be sure to think it through, though, and plan and make educated decisions, then maybe your hubby will feel better about it.
We think a lot alike. And my husband thinks like yours. UGH!
I feel much like you do needing to be some place new. Austin is great buuuuuuut I’ve lived in the same 300 mile area all my LIFE.
Travel is the one thing that keeps me sane.
xo
I know exactly how you feel. I used to feel same way about my home town. Untill one day I packed 2 suitcases and moved from Europe to New York – the city I always dreamt about. And I live here since. Follow your heart, follow your dreams….GOOD LUCK!
I moved twenty years ago across the world from Australia to Positano /Luxembourg to marry my husband. I left all my family behind and created a new family and life for myself here. In a way I think I was blessed to be able to have the combination of living in the two wonderful places that I do, and living in a larger city would not have been right for me and my kids. It can be done, but it takes courage to follow your dreams – you don’t necessarily have to close all the doors behind you.
I often say this to my husband, and he replies just like your husband does…I would just like to live in Italy for a few years…have to persuade my husband that it would be good for us!!!
