Re: Getting homesick
Some of us Yanks are not so bad either. 
My UK-born husband and I are looking to move back in the next couple years also. Hello from Texas!

Re: Getting homesick
I'm sorry you are feeling that way, I can't offer any advice either as I feel almost the opposite way, in that the thought of moving home full time fills me with dread as I feel I don't fit in over there anymore.

Re: Getting homesick
I too have lived here for some years, am married to a great husband, have a lovely home, a horse, dogs , friends ...lots of Brit friends too...but I am MISERABLE .. ! So homesick that it is physical feeling...and it seems to get worse as the years go by...have thought about going back, but my husband is American and we have 2 fabulous ( well they're his really, but I am very close to my stepchildren ) children who are grown and successful and love to be with us...so all the "bits" that everyone says you need to not be homesick...BUT I AM!
When I talk about going home, he's very open to the idea...he's retired military, so used to living abroad etc..but it seems so selfish of me to expect us to sell up here and move home...and then would he be homesick ? How about the step kids? Do I take my horse? Dogs no real issue, but everything else seems insurmountable ...maybe it's because it's Xmas and that is so different here for me compared to an English village Xmas..so hard to explain the feeling, but I found this site and thought it might help !!

Hi Judy and welcome to the forum. You may wish to follow that thread that Jerseygirl has highlighted above. That will take you to the US section and I'm sure you'll enjoy chatting with others in the States in that section of the forum.
