How House Hunting Nearly Ruined My Marriage
When only one person loves a place
This is a big issue and happens all of the time when you’re house hunting. We found a townhouse that I adored. It had a fireplace, hardwood floors, a swimming pool on site, even a little doggy run. To me, it was perfect. My husband didn’t like the street that it was on, and there wasn’t anything I could do about that. You can replace tiles, but not the location. I thought I’d found my dream home when we saw that place, and my dreams were quickly dashed when we got in the car and my husband said, “No way. Not gonna happen.” I felt like he was responsible for ruining my chance to be in my dream home.
