Hello all ... new here, too

Arrived March 2 -- did not think the adjustment would be this difficult but I am just about ready to go back to the U.S.

Between the groom and his cold-ish feet over the wedding and the unfriendliness of the locals, I am seriously thinking of calling it a day. It's so bad that I've even got my son (an adult, who is still in the States) looking for an apartment or house in the town where he lives.

Just wondering if anyone else is going through the same sort of feelings of isolation?

Sorry to hear you are unhappy. I think the concerns over the groom are the biggest issue - regardless of where you are living! If you are already looking for a place to live in the US, it sounds like you're not really committed to making it work with your partner or in the UK.

I am 100 percent committed -- I've quit my job, sold my car and shipped my belongings over here -- but he has had some issues arise with his father (who may have Alzheimer's) and is not sure he can deal with any more stress. Says he should have mentioned all this "sooner". No kidding.

Oh, dear. That is very sad. I'm sorry to hear this.

Sad to hear this. I can imagine its tough

Where are you based right now in the UK? perhaps finding a few friends whilst here would be good. sorry to hear some have been unfriendly.
