[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Values clarification exercise.[/b] That way you can mutually agree what your priorities are. If she brings up some small reason why a house won’t do, ask her if it is one of her top priorities and if so, should you add it to the list. If not, remind her that it shouldn’t trump your top priorities.

It’s a difficult decision for many people. I am extremely indecisive. My spouse and I did the above exercise, and went to see houses with our list of priorities. We bought the first house we came across that checked all our high-priority boxes. I still can’t believe we managed to do that, but it worked out very well and we’re very happy in our new home.

This OP.  You say you've lost out on some nice houses. Have her review each of them and write down exactly what was wrong with each one, and was it really worth it to lose the house over that detail. I would also put her on a bit of a timeline. If shes complaining that you need more space, tell her that your goal is to be moved by January 1 (or whatever date) and you need to start actively working towards that. This is still all too much in the abstract for indecisive people like your wife. She needs to have some pressure put on her, be it a deadline or a forced exercise in better clarifying her priorities.[/quote]
