Sometimes I imagine us moving away, but it'd be so hard because I'd miss our house so much. DH gets attached too but it's a struggle at first (i.e he never wore a watch before and claimed he hated it - until I bought him one as a gift, now he never takes it off). Though with him, it's less of an emotional attachment, it's more of being set in his ways. chopsuey on "Do you have an emotional attachment to your old cars and houses?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-emotional-attachment-to-your-old-cars-and-houses#post-101124 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 20:48:02 +0000 chopsuey 101124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @artbee: Alabaster white SLK 55 :( heffalump on "Do you have an emotional attachment to your old cars and houses?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-emotional-attachment-to-your-old-cars-and-houses#post-100875 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 08:36:54 +0000 heffalump 100875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @chopsuey119: What kind? @lilteacherbee: I think part of my husband's issue is that he's had 10 cars in his life. That's a lot of cars! For people like us who live with our cars for so long, we have a lot of memories in there!

I LOVED it. I was proud of it. Every time I see the same make/model on the road, I feel so sad! tequiero21 on "Do you have an emotional attachment to your old cars and houses?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-emotional-attachment-to-your-old-cars-and-houses#post-100715 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:10:22 +0000 tequiero21 100715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i think i have a very sentimental personality but nope, not attached to the car or home. sulli301 on "Do you have an emotional attachment to your old cars and houses?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-emotional-attachment-to-your-old-cars-and-houses#post-100704 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:58:58 +0000 sulli301 100704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Houses a little bit but cars nope not really! I loved my old car & took a picture the day I took it to trade in lol but I haven't missed it since. lilteacherbee on "Do you have an emotional attachment to your old cars and houses?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-emotional-attachment-to-your-old-cars-and-houses#post-100682 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:12:59 +0000 lilteacherbee 100682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have attachment to things when they come with memories. My family moved (only 20 minutes away) when I was 16 and because of the economy /real estate situation, it was on the market for 3 years. Then my grandmother decided to use it as her "beach house" since it obviously wasn't selling. I was so happy that I could go back and "visit" the house. I still have my first car too. It holds a lot of memories from when DH and I started dating (we were 16/17), not to mention memories from high school and college. I've started looking for a new car and it saddens me a bit :( So, no you aren't crazy! chopsuey on "Do you have an emotional attachment to your old cars and houses?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-emotional-attachment-to-your-old-cars-and-houses#post-100675 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:05:37 +0000 chopsuey 100675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The only thing I miss is my old car. I bought it myself. And it was so sexy.. :( Andrea on "Do you have an emotional attachment to your old cars and houses?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-emotional-attachment-to-your-old-cars-and-houses#post-100639 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:29:34 +0000 Andrea 100639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I am more like your DH, not too sentimental. heffalump on "Do you have an emotional attachment to your old cars and houses?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-emotional-attachment-to-your-old-cars-and-houses#post-100638 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:27:45 +0000 heffalump 100638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Today I asked my husband if he misses his old car. We sold it a couple of weeks ago because we had to buy a mini van. His answer, "no. it's just a hunk of metal." My answer, "that's the hunk of metal we brought our daughter home from the hospital in!" Personally, I love my car. It was my first car, and I've had it since I was a freshman in college. Hubby still drives it, it's too small for LO so we get the mini van. Then I asked him about our houses. He's not attached to any of them. He'd be perfectly happy if we moved right now. He likes our house, but it's just a house. I LOVE our house. I want it to be our forever home. And I would cry if I had to leave. It's LO's first home, it's our first home that we bought together, LO has had and will have many milestones here. It's more than just a house! Am I a crazy person or do other people love their things too?
