Why I bought a house on Airbnb for a year.

I (35F), bought a house with my husband. He passed away 3 months after we settled in, in a crash. <br><br>I bought my dream house with the man I loved, and when he was gone a week later, I was left with this massive house. <br><br>It was my dream home, but I had no desire to live there, and the memories were brutal. <br><br>So I rented it, fully furnished. I left everything there. <br><br>My husband and I were both into minimalism. So the house was fully kitted out with everything you needed. <br><br>I now live in a tiny apartment in the city centre, with the bare essentials, and our house is someone else's home. <br><br>He was an amazing guy, and even in death, he took care of me. <br><br>This house will forever be his, and in some ways, I'll always have him.<br><br>Your home shouldn't be tied to a person. Your home is where your heart is. <br><br>But in this instance, it's the best decision i made.<br><br>Edit: I've been getting requests for PM of address and lots of questions. Unfortunately, I don't think it's appropriate to post private information or the address. It's a home. It's lived in, and not a museum. The decision to rent it was to help me. <br><br>Lots of people have reached out with stories and kind words. I'm so touched. Thank you all. <br><br>Edit 2: I am not a realtor.<br><br>Edit 3: I am not a property developer.<br><br>Edit 4: I'm really humbled and touched by all your messages of support. Thank you for sharing your stories and reaching out to me. It's really made me feel like I'm not alone. <br><br>There are a lot of very kind strangers out there. <br><br>I can't respond to all the questions, but I message everyone back.<br><br>Be kind to each other.<br><br>Edit 5: I don't live in the USA. I'm definitely not American.
