[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don’t you like the house? Does your husband usually make smart decisions and you feel like you can trust him? I wouldn’t get upset if I trusted that he would make the right decision. My house put an offer in on a condo we were considering while I was pregnant and I trusted his judgement. Very happy with the condo and him for securing a place that likely would have gone to to another buyer had he not loved fast enough. Your husband probably saved you guys money by not having to get into a bidding war. [/quote]

OP here. The house is very nice but bigger than I would want to live in. There are some cosmetic changes I would do but the layout and yard is what we have been looking for. We are a family over 4 and don’t need at 5bd 5.5ba 5200sqft. house. I don’t want to live in a house that is so big. [/quote]

5 bedrooms for 4 people is not unreasonable at all. But if you really hate it, you can get out after inspection. You aren't stuck with the house. It's fine to be annoyed, but the actual impact of what he did on your life and finances is nill.

Your replies in this thread make it seem like you are looking for a way to be mad about this. Adults are able to say to their spouses "I'm so angry that you cut me out of this decision. I am not sure if I can come around to liking the house, because of it. I would like to try, but do you understand why I feel this way?" [/quote]

The house is 5200sqft. Who needs that kind of space for two adults and two kids? Imagine the amount of money it will take to heat/cool, clean, and maintain. OP is right to be upset. I think she came here to vent. [/quote]

The square footage is often not as much an issue as the lay out.  I think 5 bedrooms, even six is good for 4 people so you have an office or two or guest room.  I'd love a 5 bedroom house with one kid but not one that big.[/quote]
