[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do we have the same DH? Mine does the exact same about basic maintenance, but his solution is to suggest we move. As if it's less of a headache, financial cost, etc to move that just get a new shower hose of whatever.

[b]It's super weird too because his parents never do basic maintenance and their house has so many problems we stay in a hotel when we visit.[/b]

I don't get it, but in my case I left him have his moment and then 12 hours later we can discuss it like rationale human being.

It is learned behavior.  We did not have much, but the old house we grew up in was bought and cared for by my parents with their own hands.  It was important to them that their house have basic maintenance, and not fall apart. Our house was not fancy, but it was maintained. I don't even think DH's dad so much as mowed the lawn, so DH thought houses took care of themselves, basically. DH first became annoyed, but is learning that it is okay to not live like a hoarder, and not have things falling apart. Now, DH seems to appreciate a calm life, instead of the chaos he sees when he visits his family. [/quote]
