Withdrawing home offer

We decided today to withdraw our offer on the house.

The seller is still trying to convince her ex-husband to accept the offer, and he's not budging.
13 days after our original offer, 9 days after our final offer, we've had enough.

Enough things in life have worked out well for us to know when something's not working.
And this is not working.

I will miss the closet space, but closets aren't worth forcing something that's not right.

So we won't get the house.

I'll keep living in my shoe box house (and loving it).

We'll be able to go the shore. We'll join a swim club for the summer. We'll keep saving for our forever house. We'll make this house more and more our home.

And sometime in the future, someone will list our "perfect" forever house. And they'll accept our offer.
