It is just a house and would have been nothing more than an end to the search.

You haven't failed.Originally posted by Bear View PostDon't buy into that fate stuff - i've a mate who says that sort of stuff.
I believe you need to make things happen, unfortunately it looks like this one is out of my control
Which means I've failed
But thanks for the
anyway
If it had been the right house you'd have made it happen. But it's not and you know it so you didn't.

Cailin's right.Originally posted by cailin maith View PostYeah but you can't control everything
Don't be daft, you haven't failed....

You would have failed if you had found a dodgy mortgage lender who let you have too much money and then ... a year from now you can't make the payments, the house is repossessed, the bank chases you for the difference, you're bankrupted, lose the rights to directorship, have to fold your LtdCo, which means you cannot contract, which means no income, so your wife (quite sensibly) leaves you.
THAT is failure. It happened to people I worked with in the late 1980s.
Saying "I can't afford that house, I'll look elsewhere" is NOT failure.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
