[QUOTE="Andy, post: 256720, member: 5096"] Deep breaths. You still have time. Continue to do the cleaning and packing to be prepared if you do find a place to live. Hold off on contacting phones and utilities. Set the date of your absolulte final decision (say three days before the new job would start). Do you have a realtor? If not, find one. If so, call as soon as you can call and say, "Look, I have until _______ to find a new place. I have only $__________ to spend on it (give him an amount less than you want to spend because they will ALWAYS come up with something just a little more). You have until ___________ to get me into something or the deal is off." If not having a home has to be your reason for not taking this job, give it a few more days and try not to worry about it. If it doesn't happen it doesn't happen. Will that be so bad? Don't give up Steely! I think that if Matt were able to come home, it may be easier for him to start over in a new place. Easier for you to set house rules that he may not have followed previously? I will understand and respect whatever your decision is. I just don't want you to feel defeated. I don't want you to miss out on this move if it really is what you need. We really don't know though do we? You will find a way to go on, either here or there. [/QUOTE]
