Sorry to say!: IMHO: It sounds controlling, a bit manipulative and like something they teach you on the first day at a sales course.
Why not: “W, we need to do something about our housing soon. What is your opinion about this?”
Ok, that's why I am asking
Good to know it sounds controlling. I thought a direct approach where I let her know my desires and the needs of our family would be appropriate, but I also saw that it risked the appearance of control. I'm not sure I would say manipulation, but at least control.
