[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We both work. I make more money but that doesn’t matter. It’s our money.

Most of the complaints about the houses are negligible. It’s always the house is too small, the house is too big, the yard is too small, she doesn’t like the layout, she doesn’t know the look of the outside of the house, etc.

It drives me nuts. We had about 5 houses we could’ve bought but she had issue with every one of them. Then she complains everyday how she can’t wait to move because we are running out of space. [/quote]

Those are “negligible” dislikes, those are structural and can’t really be easily changed.
Bad things in the size, layout, neighbors, location, pest infestations, no garage, school district, the look are all major things.

Things that can be improved - with $$$ and time and brains — are things like appliances, paint job, new windows, plant some bushes/landscaping, flooring, etc.

One way to get out an “indecisive” person is PROCESS buy-in. You do this w committees: you all put down needed parameters, wanted parameters, deal breakers up front and agree on then. They go out and find the best few things. Tweak as necessary. Discuss trade offs. Compare with renting.

Try to add some structure or just ask her what’s the real problem here. [/quote]
