I hate it, but we are leaving this place after only 7 years and moving to a new home. The realtor is picking up the earnest money check in about an hour.
The move is basically a compromise over what my wife needs in life and what I need.
One aspect of our personalities is simply not easily compatible. She is energized by human interaction and can chatter away with anyone about anything for hours. Being around people wears me out, I mean literally sucks the energy right out of me. I could be a hermit. My quiet demeanor frustrates her, and the solution is to get her nearer to more of her people. We are pretty isolated out here, and I love it, but Vicki needs to be nearer her family and friends. We've had 7 years of heaven for me and 7 years of isolation and loneliness for her, so it's her turn. We will be 10 minutes from her daughter and 20 minutes from her best friend, 20 minutes from her quilting guild meetings.
It's not all bad. We're paying $725k for the new place and we'll get $900k to a million for this old shack.
