When I was at my lowest after moving to a new town, you helped me pick myself up

DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER moving to my dream home in the countryside, I became very depressed. 

I desperately wanted to move back to my old town, where all my friends and family were, but my husband said if I left, I’d do so alone. 

I’m 55 and my husband is 59. We’d always talked about moving, but I didn’t anticipate how lonely and isolated I’d feel. 

I wrote to you hoping for a solution. I didn’t want to have to choose between my marriage and my happiness.

You said that moving was a huge life change and it might take longer to adjust than I expected.
