Hey WAW! Just looked at the house. Its nice, now time to figure out what deal to offer.
Came home last night and W noticed me not being "upbeat" as I have been, for the most part. "What's wrong (no name)?", hmmm I feel like sh#t, I come home (sort of), my life consists of being beaten on all day, and the only time you say something to me is when I don't look "happy", effu. Yes, sick CVA thinking all this but DBing CVA said nothing. Just sharing.

Yay on the house! Can you describe it, for those of us who like that kind of thing?
I'm curious, are you still going over to the house every evening to hang out? If so, and nothing has changed, it might be a good idea to start hunting for that gorgonzola down another path (thanks Heim, for the laugh!)
Curious about the pending new digs myself. Lots of space for the kids and enough room for another outside TV setup I'm assuming?
How has your W taken the idea of another house? Going to be curious to see what happens when she starts getting all of the space she's been asking for.
Oh, and watch out exactly where you get your future massages from. Stay away from anywhere with "Happy" or "Hand" in the name.

Hey WAW, NA and H! Crap just got an email from the realtor...house has been on the mkt 1 stinkin day and they are getting an offer. I don't want anything so nbad to get in a bidding war.
If your interested, go to http://www.har.com and go to Search for Realtor or Home then Single Family dwelling. Just go to the zip and type 77479 and I thin its on the 4th page or so and it is 7603 Shannondale. Likely will not get it but yes WAW, does put a "spring in your step" just by taking action.
H, don't know what her reaction "will be". I have concluded it is pointless to tell her anything, if it comes down to it, it will come out of my 1/2 so please tell me what good it does to hit her with..."Hey, CVA is buying a house, just thought I would let u know" and no, I don't have "the email" done.

Are you planning NOT to tell her about the house? If that's true, please think about it. This is a huge deal, will potentially have an effect on your R/M, and the money still belongs to both of you.
I think talking about that could be a big deal; maybe email is the way to go there? She's going to freak out, I bet, so give her a chance to gather her thoughts.
Sorry about the potential bidding war. I'm sure it'll work out for the best. And taking action is still taking action, whether you get this place or the next.
Wow on the house! That's quite a long way from sleeping on an air mattress in your 1br apt! I agree with Puddle- you absolutely must tell her that you're planning to buy a house. I see bad things happening if you wait...
One more monkey, jumping on the bed . . . tell her, CVA. Nothing's gone on recently that would make not telling her anywhere close to being a good idea.

Yeah, bro -- my W freaked out a bit when I cancelled my house phone and didn't tell her (and she could still get a hold of me via my cell phone!). You buying a house without mention might cause your W to go beserk!
Glad you're moving forward with the house hunt. I'm with Heim -- interested to see how W's short term and long term reactions will be. Closely monitor the results, eh?
