[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is very dreamy and a romantic. His interests are art, politics, philosophy, literature and religion.

That’s all fine but I want for us to figure out logistics of every day life. Finances and mortgages and vacations.

He gets so bored and checks out whenever I try to bring up any of those topics.

I don’t know what to do. [/quote]

How convenient! He does not want to talk or deal with life! [/quote]

I am similar to OPs DH ( outside of the religious part, and more business heavy). The issues is a lot of this doesn’t need to be a discussion, or at the very least it doesn’t need to be a regular one..

Mortgage discussion doesn’t need to be more they 5 minutes.  Most of a mortgage is actually dictate by some else based on your income and debt. Either stretch it or be more conservative.  If you are at the point of purchasing a house with someone you probably know there financial philosophy.

Vacations, ever read the vacation threads on here.  People turn vacations into trips and make both more miserable than they need to be.   
You get on a plain or in a car and you go somewhere enjoy it and leave.  Again if you are married you know what type of traveler your spouse is  and you know what type accommodations they prefer.

Omg you are a piece of work.

Mortgage is tied up into what kind of home you buy, how much you can afford to renovate, if one will stop working when babies come.

Yes we don’t have discussions about what our rate will be, but banks will give you more than enough rope to gang yourself.

Vacations? Well if you are independently wealthy or only to day trips to eastern shore, maybe you can be careless. But most vacations require significant financial costs, planning, packing, and scheduling. Even full service resorts: let’s say your kids want to go kayaking, you need to book before the trip.

I mean as a single adult you can fly to the hotel, stay at hotel pool, and drink heavily. VACATION!!  But still SMH. [/quote]
