Hey Red. Keep us posted on the house hunt. H wasn't sure about the house I wanted, either. But I wanted it, so I bid on it. And I got it. Now he says it is "nicer than he expected". And he is (pretty much) living here. So who knows?
I moved forward on getting a place for me and the kids b/c it was what I wanted. H realized I was serious and was truly planning for my life without him in it. That shook him up. Don't get a house just for that reason, but I know you aren't anyway. Point is, look for a house that is good for YOU. Get what YOU want.
