Our Antonella tells it how it is
Dithering about moving
Q My husband and I are looking to move house because our current home is no longer big enough for us and our two kids.
However, we can only afford a bigger house if we move miles away and I’m worried that will upset our kids as they’ll have to move schools.

He says he’s working late multiple times a week, he’s cagey about his phone, and he never seems to want to spend any time with me.
I’ve tried to ask if everything is OK but he always brushes me off.
