So we have to move. Our house sold in less than 36 hours.
Wow, I was so NOT prepared for that. The option period has started, but it appears unless they find something majorly wrong with our house, we have to be out by March 23rd (and they're paying with CASH, so worrying whether or not the financing will fall through isn't a factor).
H and I were floored. And someone else has said that if for any reason this deal falls through, they want to put a bid down. So we're moving, and doing it fast. We have to find an apt, because regardless of whether or not we move to MS, we are not ready to buy another house yet, in either state. And that's not something we want to jump into lightly, so we have to have somewhere to go in the interim.
I feel like H has been more testy the past few days. I don't know if it's the sale of the house, or what. I know I've been putting the pressure on him to make a decision about this move. I think, again, it comes down to a money thing for him. Which I totally get, I do, but I think he thinks that we have to have a certain amount of money to live, and I don't think he realizes how much we spend unnecessarily. Even on just his income, we would make way more than most families in America live on. If most of America can do it, we can do it.
But then, it scares me again that he will become resentful that he is the sole breadwinner and that I contribute "nothing" (nevermind that I'll be cooking, cleaning, raising our child, and getting additional credentials to make more when we come back home....). Maybe I should bring this up in MC.
I don't know. I feel like we have a lot to work on before we pick up and move across the country. I think he needs to stop coming from such a selfish standpoint before we make the decision for him to take on all financial responsibility. After all, if he asks me to do this, I'm leaving MY career that I've worked VERY hard to obtain.
It's stressful to say the least. I've had migraines three days this week.
At least my child is still easy and wonderful, we're all healthy, and we're all under the same roof.
I just don't know where that roof will be in a little over a month.
