I had the same home ownership experience...I kept waiting for it to get better but it just got worse. Really took a toll on my partner and I's mental health. Owned for just shy of 10 years. Been renting for a little over 2 years now after finally getting out of it. Renting has its own pains, but that stuck feeling of home ownership + all the maintenance it entails far eclipses rental annoyances in my opinion.
I never hear anyone discuss that - everyone I ever talk to seem to experience nothing but joy - I'm glad that I'm not crazy for having a less than stellar outlook on the whole endeavour.
Definitely not crazy. I think some people feel pressured to make their life look like it's going well at all times so the ones that are having a hard time just don't talk about it.
