Should I tell my husband I want to sell our new dream home?
The Guardian Weekly
|November 14, 2025
My husband and I have just built our dream house.
After a year of planning and months of building, we can finally live there. The work was incredibly stressful, we spent a lot more than planned, and it triggered an anxiety disorder that I'm now struggling with.
The building work is ostensibly over, but there's still work to do and money to spend to make the house fully a home, and I'm exhausted and depressed by that.
Although we have an impressive house, we are also financially more stretched, which plays on my mind. But mostly it's the feeling of the house - I don't like its vibe. I don't feel at home here.
My husband is much more positive about the house, while recognising that we both found the experience stressful. He can sense something is wrong for me, but I don't know if I should tell him the truth, which is that I fantasise about selling it and feeling free.

Fears for spears: how to cook asparagus without blanching
\"Blanching captures that green, verdant nature of asparagus so well, and saves its minerality, too,\" agrees Bart Stratfold of Timberyard in Edinburgh, but when the season is going full tilt, it's just common sense to expand our horizons.
