Can't get on the same page with new house
Answered 5 years ago
In the market for a new house (in NZ) hubby and I can't get on the same page. I like a house he doesn't etc etc. How can I get through to him that we're never going to find the 'perfect' house and that we both need to compromise on things? Example, found a house that ticks 95% of the boxes (including his must have garaging) but it's on a main residential road (50km zone). He won't even go look at house because he's not keen on being on the main road because people might see his work truck in the driveway and then know where we live. Another one he wouldn't look at because he didn't like the colour of walls. It's driving me crazy, we were supposed to be out of this house nearly 2 years ago, the kids have NO space in their rooms and one doesn't even have a wardrobe! Any suggestions?

You really need to discuss with him and talk about what can be changed and what is suitable. If he isn’t willing to talk then I would ask him what is bothering him

Walls can be painted.
You both need to sit down and work out what is negotiable and what isn’t and go from there. If Yu find a house that you like and he doesn’t you need to find out exactly why he doesn’t like it and work out whether they are serious things to think about.
