Having a hard time with full timing
Hello, Let me first give you some background. I am a married women- my husband has had this idea of living in an RV traveling around the US for years. He had a mandatory retirement date, so when it...

I am so grateful for everyone We've ut. First, I'd like to defend my DH, he suggested I post here to see how other women dealt with a similar situation. Second he didn't force me to do this. I just didn't think it would effect me this way. I don't miss the snow or ice in NY. I don't miss all the stuff we accumulated. I do miss photos on the walls. But my DH is going to figure out something so we can personalize a little more.
I had a couple of friends that I shared my life story with & vice a versa. Out of my siblings I am only really close to one. I miss our daughter because we had a close relationship.
I did go to therapy & I talk to her once in a while. It does help. I also am very open with my husband about my feelings. He is very supportive & understanding. He knows what I am feeling & truly tries to help.
He has a blog about being first time rv owners & being full timers.
We are moving alot. We don't want to drive more than 300 miles from place to place. We stay a minimum of a week. Eventually we will slow down.
Right now, we've been all over FL. North, South, East & West.
I do think that we will have a base, maybe two. Maybe eventually one & be snowbirds I don't know.
I would Skype but most campgrounds the Internet is limited to emails& looking up websites. I text, call & email to stay in touch.
My husband knows once we have grandchildren, things will be different. However since our children are in two geographic locations, we'd be snowbirds or have two bases.
As far as inviting friends & family to meet us places. True most campgrounds have rental units. Or they can stay at a nearby hotel. We've been discussing this with them. Next winter, they will come where we are since we would be South. This summer, as I said we'll be there.
I do appreciate everyone's input.
I would welcome anyone who is feeling the same way to send me a person message. Perhaps we could for a friendship of sorts with that common bond. Maybe end up meeting some place I the future.
