You feel like business partners
What ultimately happens is that you feel more like business partners than lovers or best friends. Every conversation is about money or documents or appointments. You don’t have time (unless you work really hard to make it) to just be playful, shoot the sh*t, and have fun for months…or however long it takes you to find a place. You have to be very careful, and make sure you get strict about setting times when you do not talk about house hunting. Maybe get away for a weekend. Otherwise, when you close on a house, it may not feel as celebratory as you’d hoped because you and your partner no longer feel as close as you did when the homebuying process began.
