Well she bought a house down the street from my new place. I looked at that one when looking. Mine is way nicer.
But it has a huge selling point, you're not there, LOL! My W is renting a dumpy little house in a less-than-spectacular neighborhood. It's a huge step down from my house/ neighborhood. At first I thought there was no way she'd be happy there, she'd see how lousy a sitch it was and come running back. I was wrong. Never discount how badly they want to be away from us, it's a powerful motivator for them to accept lesser conditions.
