[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I went through building a new house and extensively renovating a fixer upper. We made all the decisions jointly. If one party did not like a choice, we go back to the drawing board, so to speak. There are certain things/styles I love that he hates, so I have to find work arounds.

That said, there were definitely enough times that we made what we thought was the prudent choice at the time, and in hindsight we both said, oh, should have splurged a little on that one, what's 2k or 5k in the grand scheme of things?

You guys have very different approaches to this house. You view it strictly from a practical point of view, ie, you're selling it in 3-5 yrs, therefore it's not worth the money and hassle to upgrade so much cosmetic stuff. She obviously views it differently. Are you sure she's on the same timeline as you regarding the length of time you'll live in the house? [b]Regardless, you two need to compromise. You can acknowledge her desire to live in a beautiful space done to her liking while also suggesting that she prioritize certain things and save on others. Hopefully she's willing to meet you somewhere in the middle.[/b] [/quote]

And that bolded statement OP, seems like the key to a successful marriage. No reason it has to be all or nothing, compromise.[/quote]
