[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, op, I feel your pain. Dh and I have a great marriage, but big decisions are hard. And I hate moving more than anything in the world, so timelines and other obligations involved bring up my stress level while trying to agree on something so monumental. I fear spending too much. I want cozy and understated. He wants other people to be impressed. He wants me to have a great kitchen (I love to cook), but don't need stainless and marble and an island...just "enough" counter and cabinet space. I want the kids to have a great basement, dh thinks a basement is for storage. He wants the brand new house because it's new, and I don't like it because the backyard is up against a major road. We talk through it, we listen to each other, we go to lots of open houses so we can iron out wants vs needs before getting a realtor involved. It's hard but we come out of it stronger because we have no choice but to do it together.[/quote]
