Panina, with your lovely nature with not harboring bitterness , you will always have a beautiful, peaceful life full of friends and love. He was just a pebble in the road. The sadness for what could have been will pass.
That's just embarrassing!
I live in old farmland, dairy 4 doors down. It had just started out when I got here, it is a massive business now. I'm more annoyed by the littering traffic they have brought than any random smell or cows in my driveway or chickens in the road.
Sure, sometimes there are aromas. There is an amazing innovation I have discovered - the window. It seems that when it is closed, no extra smells come in!
Actually, I don't have a problem with the periodic ... scents of fertilizer. I understand pig farms can be tremendously smelly but I have no problem with the cows and chickens and goats. The baby goats are so darned cute, I'd hold my nose and watch them frolic if they were... overly aromatic...

Yep. Sounds familiar. Good for your doctor. In Washington state, on Whidbey Island, the Navy has had a Naval Air Station for decades. It is a major air base in the Pacific Northwest. Squadrons of jets stationed there are deployed on aircraft carriers to various places around the world, and it is a very important part of the Navy's program. When not deployed, the pilots in those squadrons need to keep up their training skills, so they do lots of flights around the area, doing touch-and-go landings at the base's airstrips, and generally doing what military pilots are supposed to do. It's been that way for as long as I've been aware of the place, which is about fifty years.
In recent years there has been a lot of development around Whidbey Island, as people want to live in the rural area. Land is cheaper than on the mainland areas of Puget Sound, and a lot of people who commute by ferry to Seattle want to live on the island. Many homesites are on the long beaches and rocky coastline of the island. A lot of interior farmland has been converted to housing developments, and the demand for housing has increased, with no end in sight. Lately, there has been a lot of complaints being made in council meetings and public forums by these new residents that the Navy jets are too loud, and how it's bothering them. They want the Navy to stop flying around the area, and for things to get quiet.
Sorry, but you can't move next door to a busy airport, and then complain about the noise the aircraft make. But these people are making all sorts of noise about it. I don't understand the logic. But after living in Hawaii and the San Juan islands, maybe I should.

The farm might have a fly problem, but I don't.My inlaws live in a small farming town in southern AZ, over the last 10 years its been surrounded by cattle feed lots, in fields that once grew cotton.
The amonia smell is horrible but the worst thing is FLIES! Do you not have a fly problem?

Anyway, I was complaining one time about the cold here in Las Vegas to a fellow who lived here. He says, “you complain about the cold. Just try Vegas in July and you will complain about the heat. No place is perfect. Just assess the advantages and disadvantages and go from there.”
He’s right. I don’t complain anymore.
It's all relative, I think. People who travel to busy vacation locations have no cause to complain about crowding. I think Yogi Berra is quoted as saying, "Nobody goes to Coney Island anymore. It's too crowded."

I grew up in South Florida. I never appreciated it when I was growing up but now I do. It is one of the best states in terms of beauty for the ocean and beaches as well as low cost of living. The beaches in Florida beat California hands down. There is no comparing the cost of living. If my DH would move, we would be there. Unfortunately my DH is attached to California and does not like the humidity in Florida.

Our "beach house" was a few miles inland. We were about 100 yds from the chicken houses. Almost all of the time the smell was unpleasant but you did get used to it. It was those few days in the summer after the owner walked the houses finding the deceased chickens on those 95 degree days. Now that was something you could not get used to. Also if you have ever been behind one of the chicken trucks going to the processor you will understand why we used to say the roads were not paved. They were tarred and feathered.Did you say Flies , suppose you lived next door to a chicken farm that had thousands, thousands and thousands of chickens and pilies of chicken manure everywhere....Now let add this to the story that farmer did not and had refuse to clean his chicken farms buildings for decades. You could not leave your automobile outside, windows open or wash clothes; unless you wanted to see brown spots all over your automobile, in your house or clothes. Well us new city folks took him to circuit court and force him to clean up his chicken farms & buildings. end of story no. He sold his chicken farm to some land developers . Who has now built upscale homes and condos on the farm site and water front site. They have added street signs, traffic lights, street lights, and sidewalks.
Next door is about a 3/4 to a mile away from the chicken farm site.
So finally got him to sit down to decide on the timeshares. We have a total of 22. Three are bluegreen which Bluegreen will take back. One has already transferred to them, the second just got the papers to notarize from them, the third is the one with the deed issue and the person who sold it to me is working on getting it fixed. Hopefully she does so I don’t have to take legal action.
He is Taking 8 weeks, I am taking 7. I might sell some later on but I will wait at least a year. He wanted all five Key West weeks and I told him they are worth $ and he needs to share, so I took the two winter weeks and he took the three late fall weeks all along mumbling he wanted all 5.
So I kept two January Key West weeks, two Marco Island March weeks at Sunrise that I love, plus two winter flex weeks at HGVC Marco and one in Myrtle Beach.
In addition to his 3 key west weeks he took two late December weeks in Marco Island, one at hgvc Surf Club, the other at Sunrise. Considering he always said Marco wasn’t his favorite that surprised me. He took the spring week at Jade Tree in Myrtle Beach and two weeks at Chetola in NC, one of my favorites.
All in all I think we are both happy. So that leaves 4 weeks to give away 3 flex hgvc Marco Island and one hgvc New Year Hutchinson after he gives me the final ok.
Nice going, @Panina. The best part of what happened is this: "I think we are both happy." Unraveling a life together and dividing assets is hard work, but you did it. And he did it. And together, you came to an amicable agreement. I hope the rest of the work ahead goes as smoothly. You have certainly established a pattern that can be built upon. By the way, I really admire the positive spirit, energy, and purpose you have put into this since you made the decision to split. Thumbs up!So finally got him to sit down to decide on the timeshares.

Will just take advantage of last minute offerings on rci and II.Nice! sounds amicable. 22 weeks? Sheesh, I shutter to think of the MF bills coming in at end of year. That’s a plus for you. Your MF costs are going down significantly. That will free up extra dollars for more travel. Heck, you can just book a rental at your favourite times with the saved MF money.

I doubt he will ever trade. He will go or rent them. The weeks he chose I won’t be traveling those weeks.I admire your practical approach to the discussion and resolution.
And now you just need to note which weeks to remember not to go to your favorite resorts if you do not want to run into each other.
Best wishes on your journey!
