I'm not unhappy here.
I came because it was something that was offered to us and I didn't want to live my life saying 'what if?'
I stay because after only 18 months I don't feel I have given it enough of a chance, seen everything I want to see while here, can't afford to move back and husband wouldn't get a job at the moment in the UK.
I like somethings and not others (same as I did in the UK)
I'm not depressed, I said I felt depressed for a couple of months.

Must be nice never to have been unhappy and have everything perfect in your life. Hope you don't need abit of support and encouragement from people if you ever do experience it.

I have friends and family, why would I need complete strangers for support?

N1cky

Why do you feel the need tocome on here and get involved in these discussions then? Go talk to them instead

or me

I probably have had more reasons to be unhappy than almost anyone on here, I just haven't whinged about it.
I've found that those that have had really serious life problems tend to get on with things

surly

Because I'm actually trying to get to understand why so many people continue to say how crap their life is here, yet continue living here.

Sally Redux

Why does it bother you?

surly

I doesn't bother me it interests me, and I've never had a credible answer, only insults.

Sally Redux

You just got given some reasons why a person doesn't just instantly leave in post 16.

I consider whinging to be when someone goes on and on and you don't want to hear it. A bit like what you do every time one of these posts comes up.

Of course you have more reasons to be unhappy, you know everyone's problems don't you?

I think you will also find that most people get on with things like myself, the OP and hundreds of others on here. It doesn't mean that we can't offer sympathy, encouragement or support, and on occassion have a bloody good rant.

I don't want to continue this argument and turn it into a slanging match between us, this was a serious post looking for a bit of help.

surly

I'm encouraging to go back to the UK. I would call that good advice.

Sally Redux

Why don't you ask for this to be made a 'sticky'

surly

Would you consider taking my advice?

Sally Redux

I'm packing already.

I came here from the UK in 2006.
I felt homesick at first.... but a couple of winter trips to the UK made me appreciate Georgia.
On my last visit back in June, I was actually surprised at how much ruder English people are than Americans..... never met a rude person in Georgia!
Now the only thing I miss about the UK is the NHS!

Maybe you just need to spend less time with your FIL??
