two houses
July 11, 2009
as you probably know I am in the process of buying two houses.
If you have ever read this site I am sure I have mentioned it a time or two.
But tonight my eldest son and my husband and I got to talking and since we have decided that we are going to move back to the other house I have my mind set on it.
And I want to move back over there.
I wish we could do it today.
However my husband said to me tonight “What if we got the other one sold or found someone who wanted to buy it, would you say no to that?”
And I said “Yes I would say no. I want to move back over there. This house is too small and I want a separate bedroom for my grand children and I want a den again”
I am in the mind set of that is how it is going to be and I want to do it.
My husband said to me “I would want to stay here”
I again said “This house is too small”
Granted a few months ago I would have been happy here but now that I have the mind set of moving back there, I want to move back there.
The house is bigger I want to move back.
But he said he would prefer to stay here.
I said “Well we can do like you brother and his ex wife do, live in two separate houses”
(they are divorced but still seeing each other exclusively)
He frowned
now that the subject has been brought up I wonder…….I personally don’t think we will ever find someone to buy the house because there are half a dozen houses in this town that have been for sale over a year and they aren’t selling.
AND I want the bigger house.
I personally don’t think it will come to separate houses but if it ever did I wonder would there be a point being married?
Just seems wrong some how….
Am I wrong to want the bigger house?
I don’t think so….we have discussed this and had both agreed the smart thing to do is stay with the other house…..it will be paid off in less then twelve years and we had already made the decision to move.
Does any of this make sense?
You are totally right. The big house is MUCH better and more economical. Your husband is probably concerned with the stairs.
No way would I stay in that small house if I could move in the big one. There is so much more room to spread out & not be in each other’s way as much. Plus you would have a den and a room for the grandbabies. There is that very nice double deck and a great yard. To me, there would be no question about it – I would move and I would want to move right away too.
