We are in a very fortunate position and have been bought our home by my husbands parents.
We didn't get the choice of where the house is going to be, and wecwere literally just phoned up one day put of the blue and told that this is the house we are moving to. Please don't get me wrong here, I really don't want to sound / come across as ungrateful, but I am really struggling now to cope.
The house we are in currently (that they bought for us) is beautiful, it has 5 bedrooms in the countryside. It is in the middle of nowhere, no surrounding housesz so no neighbours or community feel.
It is on a long country lane and very quiet country roads, no one goes past much, double garage etc etc.. and very close proximity to husbands work.
For me though, it's far too isolated. Due to husbands work, I'm often at home alone. It's just me, we don't have children. I am 50 minutes drive away from my family and I'm finding it really hard. On top of this, the house is way too much for me to keep clean and tidy, and the bills are costing us over £1,540 a month (no mortgage, just bills alone).
Husband and I would love to move to a smaller property that we could look after and make our own. Not that our home isn't our own now, but it's so large I just don't feel happy or comfortable there. It's extremely isolated, lonely and I am so far from my loved ones.
We are stuck. We don't know how to approach this subject with the in-laws for fear that they will be angry. There has been other situations in the past where they have been angry at us for other things, like when we wanted to move out on our own accord previously. They are very controlling in many aspects of our lives and I'm terrified of telling them this.
Can anybody help? I'm not really sure what I'm asking for here, im sorry it's rambly. Im just scared and tired and fed up.
