Imagine finding your dream home after years of searching, only to have the sellers change their mind just as the deal is about to close. That's the dilemma one couple is facing, and they're torn between their own dreams and the moral implications of going ahead with the sale. The couple, both just shy of thirty, have been looking for a home in the place where the wife grew up for around three years now. They finally found their dream home - an old farmhouse with 15 acres, perfect location, and places for them both to work from. But when they got a call from the sellers' agent saying the sellers have changed their mind, they were left wondering if they would be the a**holes for proceeding with the sale. 😕🏡
