A reader posted a comment question under the post How Important is Your Relationship With Your Wife.
“My wife and I had our first VERY big arguement about moving to a new home in the burbs or remaining in the city. We have been in the city for 9 years in a two bedroom townhome with two boys 8 and 6. We are busting out and it is taking a toll. Plus she is a writer and I am working out of my home. 24×7! I am looking for an office job since the current one is not going well.
My wife wants to stay near the school we attend and her support group. She said she is the primary caretaker so she does not want to move and change lots of things.
I said I want to move to the burbs to get more space, get a backyard for the boys and get my wife an office so she can have her quiet time.
The problem is the singe-family homes in our city are way-high in price. We are stuck. And this market is not the best to sell. So I figured we would rent our townhome and buy another place.
Any way the fight was big and she threatened to leave. She even talked to the boys like she was going to leave. She did not. But the relationship is very icey right now.
What should I do other than telling her I will find a home near the school because breaking the family up is not worth the burbs. Plus I am interviewing very well.”
I posted this question because it’s a big question with many parts, and I feel that it would be more beneficial for those of you out there in the community to answer it. What do you think?
