We spent the day in Holmes Chapel yesterday. It's a beautiful town, we viewed a house we loved and made an offer. The only concern we had going in was that it was quite near the train tracks. Some passenger trains passed when we were doing the viewing but weren't too loud so we were happy to offer. However, after more research, I have discovered that the train line also has high volumes of freight traffic. The passenger trains were either slow as they pulled into/away from (local service) or fast and went past quickly (assume Avanti national service). From the videos I have seen, the freight trains are extremely long and travel relatively slowly, taking around 20 seconds to pass.

Does anybody who lives near this line have any insights? I know we would get used to it but would have concerns about re-sellability.

The house is perfect otherwise. I got "the feeling" as soon as I walked in.

Any advice welcome!

Couldn't find much information on Reddit. Not sure if that's a positive or negative signal! For context, we're both 37. No kids (yet!) and a dog. Currently living in South Manchester and looking at houses anywhere between Knutsford and Holmes Chapel. Any locals or folks that have moved there with insights much appreciated!

My (44m) long term partner (37f) has ADHD (diagnosed last year) and suspected autism. Unfortunately a lot of the behaviours and limitations resulting from ADHD has significantly effected our relationship over the years we've been together, as well as me individually. Anyone familiar with adult ADHD will be familiar with the types of issues that arise.

I'm currently seeing a counsellor where we mainly focus on (trying to) finding practical ways to manage the impact of ADHD on the relationship, avoiding arguments and so on. Unfortunately this doesn't do much for me in terms of immediate emotional relief.

I also read the ADHDpartners sub, and it's helpful to hear of people having similar experiences, though the general tone of the sub is not particularly sympathetic towards the ND partners.

Unfortunately in real life I don't have many close friends around Macc, and I don't generally feel able to discuss our relationship issues with my family, or even with other friends in neuro-divergent relationships.

I am writing this sat in a cafe, physically and emotionally exhausted, after a positive counselling session yesterday afternoon which was eventually followed by a huge meltdown by my partner, right as we were meant to be going to sleep for an early start this morning.

Ultimately I just feel quite sad and very lonely a lot of the time when I think about my situation and see other people's more functional and fulfilling relationships.

I think it would help me a lot if I could speak to other people in real life in similar situations, or even just to connect with support services for ADHD partners. Does anyone know of anything local or in Cheshire / South Manchester?

Alternatively, is anyone in a similar situation who would also feel that they would benefit from mutual support, if I was to set something up?
