Pam - What doesn't she like about where the house is?
I have been reading your thread & think it is great you are buying a house. I bought my own house after my 1st divorce & it was the best thing I ever did. It is small, but enough for me to take care of. I wanted something to keep me busy & I like having flowers, garden, etc. My parents wanted me to get a condo at the time because of maintanace issues but the ones I could afford seemed too much like apartments to me.
There are times that it gets overwhelming to have your own house but I found that alot of people are willing to help me w/ things if I just ask - guys at work, etc.
I think you should be very proud of yourself. As long a you feel it is safe for you to live in that area alone, I wouldn't worry about what she thinks. I feel safer with houses & neighbors close buy since I am by myself. I would love a bigger place more in the country but it would be hard to maintain alone & I just can't afford it. You want to be able to have a life to, especially after what you have been thru. You may not care to socialize much right now but you will, & hopefully I will again to.
