Reality Check
 

So, if offer accepted could be back in UK in 5 weeks.
What was wanted for all those homesickness! pro UK thoughts..
Then, when it's real you think what your giving up, what you strived so hard to achieve, going back to a jigsaw with all the pieces not together again.
Natural suppose, but did it start to feel better when your where home and the deed was done.
logic and emotions two different things

Once the stress is off you can see the good things where you are.

I popped down to Malibu yesterday for lunch and a stroll on the beach - delightful - but too much else is missing.

I've been homesick and miserable in the US for too many years. Last year I decided enough was enough and told DH that I wanted to move home. He put up a bit of resistance because he loves it here and has become a US citizen, but finally relented and agreed that as soon as we'd finished remodeling the house, we'd sell up and move home. I initially I was over the moon and it was like having a weight lifted off my shoulders knowing I'd be going home. However a few months later for some strange reason I got a bout of the jitters and totally back peddled ........ Stupid ... Stupid me, a week later I was wishing I'd kept my mouth firmly shut :( Nothing changed, I didn't become happier or more settled and America still didn't feel like home.

The house is now finished and up for sale and once again I've had to tell DH that America isn't ever going to be home for me and that I'm not prepared to waste anymore years waiting and hoping that things will finally fall into place for me, because they wont. He has a face as long as a wet weekend and if I'm honest I'm not convinced that when push comes to shove that he'll actually come home with me ..... Ah well, what will be will be. One things for sure, I wont be changing my mind this time, as soon as the house sells that'll be me gone and I wont be letting any attack of the jitters get the better of me this time.
