Perfect storm of financial issues coming together bros
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 31st, 2026 3:10 AM Author: Aphrodisiac center Wife wants to buy a new house. We sold our old house recently and have been living in a temporary rental while looking for another one. Well, she found one. It costs about 800 k, which doesn't sound so bad except that we would pay cash and our liquid assets are about 1.5 million right now. It's also a 50 minute drive from my office. I'm also not exactly sold on the neighborhood, although I could be.
At the same time, one of my key salespeople is on her way out the door. I'm looking for a replacement and interviewed some people, but getting someone up to speed will take time.
Also got some big debts coming due on the business side. Ordinarily they wouldn't be a big deal, but combine it with these other issues and I'm feeling squeezed.
Wife is enraged that I won't just stroke a check for this house. She found it 3 days ago and already just has to have it. Said about two sentences to me last night after dinner because she's so mad.
Oh, wife is also late 30s and has given me one amazing child but hasn't given birth to any more. We have upcoming fertility clinic appointments and potential IVF expenses inbound, just to have a freaking second child.
Quite a time to be alive bros! |

Date: January 31st, 2026 11:23 AM Author: curious principal's office kitty Bottom line is that a house is a major purchase you both must be aligned. Do a joint therapy session with her or something on this topic. Way cheaper than getting in over your head. Just tell the therapist why you don’t want to buy a house right now. Don’t let them convince you or force you into something you feel strongly about as that is how you develop marriage-ending resentment. What does wifey do for work besides spend your money and look at houses in other towns? |

I woke up vomiting in the middle of the night last night because I was so stressed about this. She told the realtor that we weren't interested. |
