SO I thought about this some more, and am wondering if maybe the stress of the old house not selling is causing her stress. I know the new house is not the way either of us would like it. We want new kitchen counters, some furniture, paint, and a lot of that is hinging on the other place selling. She has expresses some dismay at "making us buy this new house and not having the old one sell".

Financially we are doing fine. I would describe it as treading water. (Slightly better as I am still contributing to my retirement, but not gaining any savings right now.) But she is feeling like she put us into a bind. And that might be weighing on her.

Another thing is that both of us want to start exercising. The old house didn't have a basement, so we had a recumbent bike in a spare room, but that was in. Gym memberships on and off over the years were how we tried to work out. Now we have a huge basement, and I want to buy some equipment for down there. That also is contingent on the house selling. She feels like she is getting out of shape and it is bugging her.

So all of that could be contributing to some depression. Though the MR 2.0 is awesome, we are more connected than we have been since we've dated, but she is very hard on herself a lot.
