The reason i let my wife make the all decision is because I don’t like arguing with her. Here is your budget and stick to it. And yet, she comes back and asks “Sweety, what do you think of this?” or tries to drag me along shopping with her.
When we first bought our first home, i wanted to divorce her because we argued about every little thing. It gets tiring after a while. I’m practical and she’s material. I like modern and she likes antique, especially “cherry” color. On and On.
If you’re not married yet make sure you ask your other half to be about buying a house and what to furnish with it. It will save you a lot of headaches.
