I feel a little blue

I feel a little blue

Ok - so I feel a little blue today and need some hugs.

I officially gave up my apartment today. Even though I am SO happy in our new house with DH, it was my home for 10 years. It made me so sad to clean it out for the last time and turn the keys into the rental office.

It's not that I'm not happy with this new chapter in my life but I loved my apartment and was so happy there for the 10 years I lived there.

I didn't expect to feel this way and it's kind of hitting me out of thin air. DH just doesn't get it and thinks I'm being stupid and is now mad at me for feeling sad. I understand why he would take it personally but it truly has nothing to do with him.

Please someone tell me I'm not wrong for feeling this way...

Although the new chapter in your life is wonderful, it's still sad sometimes to close the previous chapter. I think what you're feeling is 100% normal.

Hang in there, it'll get easier!

You were there for 10 years of course its upsetting to leave it! I was crying like a baby when I left my last apartment and I was only there 2 years! Its totally normally to feel that way. Yes its a new chapter of your life that is super exciting, but its still sad to say goodbye to the old apartment!

Sending tons of hugs your way. It's completely normal to feel this way, this is a chapter of your life which you're closing forever. Mourn it and get it all out....because you have an amazing life with your DH ahead of you

Totally normal. When we moved out of our apt and into our house I felt the same way. A friend of ours actually moved into our apartment and at first I was excited because I could still visit, but the first night we went there when it wasn't 'ours', I actually cried!
