Dealing with Relationship Issues

Did this Valentine's Day open your eyes to issues in your relationship with your house?

Here are the signs it is time to break up with your house, based on a personal relationship list from E-Harmony:

  • Questions and nagging concerns loom. You wonder if the house will fit your needs much longer and your project list just seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
  • Your family and friends have made comments about your home or neighborhood that aren't sitting well with you.  Your parents concerns/comments are only adding to your project list.
  • You wonder about your emotional, mental, and financial health - is your environment setting you on edge? 
  • You realize you and your house just no longer mesh.  The house is what is is and it is no longer meeting your goals. Your family has grown or your kids have moved out and you need a different space.
  • Your home makes you think too much of the past and you don't feel like remodeling. 
  • You can't resolve conflicts - it is either add on, remodel, or move out. The kids can no longer all share one bedroom and you are tired of running to the storage unit every time you need holiday decorations, summer/winter clothes, etc.
  • You are no longer interested and have started to have a wandering eye.  You have Pinterest boards dedicated to moving,  building a new home, and all of the exciting new features and technology available to add to your home. Every time you see a new house for sale you look. You are jealous of your friends' and family members' new homes. 
  • Your pet peeves have piled up. The once simple things that you thought you could just "live with" when you first moved in, have now become daily nuisances.
