Yeah, we lost the house. Well, I'm not sure you can say we really "lost" it, since technically, we never should have had it in the first place, but more on that later.
Monday, we got news that the down payment/closing cost program had declined us because didn't have enough debt. (Irony, much?) So after that, there really wasn't much else we could do, so we pulled the plug.
And it hurts, in ways I never thought it would. We've been through such a rollercoaster with this house, and now to find out that it was all for pretty much nothing...yeah. It hurts. And it makes us both angry, because the one thing that could have saved us all this angst was if our broker had done his job and called the agency which administers the program and asked them if we qualified. He didn't, but was more than happy to keep telling us we'd qualify. I'm not sure if he was sure we would, or if he was just ignorant, but whatever. We're back where we started now.
So now we're getting practice in letting go. We've been through worse things in our marriage, so I'm not worried on that score. It's just the letting go and starting over that's hard.

It's bad karma, to say nothing of being really, really rude.

Oh, no! Sorry this happened! I had something similar happen right after I got married, years ago.
((hugs))
Thank you for your kind thoughts :) It's nice to know someone else went though this...:)
