How House Hunting Nearly Ruined My Marriage
Buyer’s remorse
We felt bad about buying a home. We were excited for many reasons, but we were also aware of the fact that we have many friends who are nowhere near being able to afford to do so. We didn’t want to rub our accomplishment in their faces. So we were in this weird place of not talking to some of our friends about the biggest thing happening in our lives at the time. Both my husband and I slipped up a few times and told people we shouldn’t. I eventually got frustrated and said, “What happens when we buy a place? How will we hide it then?!” and that was a whole big argument.
