Have searched but the only advice sites that are rated pretty good charge money. If anybody here does know of a site that charges and is really good, I'll go for it but am reluctant to cough up the money and possibly just get the same ol' "And how did that make you feel when he said that?" instead of actual suggestions. (It's for help on possibly convincing my Huzz to at least consider downsizing; I'm getting desperate and more and more resentful about it.)
 

I would certainly not pay anyone just for sharing their opinion. There are plenty of good sources that are free.
Besides this one, the city-data forum is quite large and usually provides plenty of feedback from members.
They have a relationship <-- section and also a retirement <-- section. Personally, I would talk with him directly,
tell him your concerns, and try to overcome the obstacles by setting your standards and boundaries in advance.

True, and the advice here is good; it's just that I've tried it and it hasn't worked so I'm still looking, I guess I'm hoping to luck onto finally the thing I can say to convince Huzz to at least give looking at another place to live a try. I know I could demand counseling for us but dread so much what his reaction would be. I feel so old and tired and don't feel up to any more emotional battles. (due to the childhood, the first marriage, and most of the jobs I had, it sometimes feels like my entire life has been one emotional battle after another and I am so. Very. Tired.

Get some brochures or any other literature with pictures of other places that you might want to live and leave them around the house but don't say anything. That's what happened when I made my mind up to go to college after the service. My mother had gotten a course catalogue of a college for my brother but he wasn't interested so the catalogue just lay on the table. I looked through it and the rest is history.

Good advice. I look online every day for a house to become available in areas I think would be good. It's going to be a long wait, though: that 2018 Camp Fire that destroyed 25,000 residences happened 30 min. away from us, so houses for sale are still scarce and expensive. That's also why I wish Huzz would agree to talk to a realtor; even before the Camp Fire, I heard that when realtors around here get a nice older home for sale, they a lot of the time don't even have to advertise it since they have phone lists of people who want a house like that. So I think it'd be good to get with a good realtor & at least get our name on the list. But he won't so I keep checking online and hoping.
 
I am not sure I understand why you want to downsize. Is it just harder to take care of? Hiring help would be a lot less expensive than moving. Sounds like you want a fresh start. Maybe there are other reasons you want to move.
Someone mentioned online therapists. That may be helpful for you to discover what else is going on if anything. If friendly advice from here is not enough, I would seek a professional.
I wish you all the best. I am sorry you feel so down. You will be in my thoughts.🌻
