Since when is it a crime to find what you like right away and go for it???

Did you choose your Hubs right off the rack on your first trip to the 'store'? If so then you should point that out. Smile sweetly and remind him you have impecable judgment, he needs to trust your instincts and to stay out of the way. Then YOU make an offer and negotiate the deal. He'll come around. I know you'd like the two of you to always make 'joint' decisions, but he's the way he is. Waiting around for him to agonize through 11,000 'what ifs' isn't a joint decision, it's handing him the power and asking for his permission. So what if the idea of buying a new house is abrupt? Lots of things in life happen abruptly. Winning the Lotto, getting struck by lightning, falling in love. We looked at 3 other places before making an offer on the Hobbit House. Didn't need to traipse up and down the Hudson Valley looking at every shack, the house was what we wanted, where we wanted it and was affordable. Tell him you love him, that you appreciate his...um...steadfastness, but he married a wild mustang and must deal with your 'capricious' ways. Go buy the house, sweetie. ~LA

Um, our house was the second we looked at. Just like everything else, you can't predict how many it takes to find the right one. That goes for men and houses ;) There's no way to prepare for off-the-wall questions though. My suggestion is short answers. While you can address the furnace issue ("we get a new one"), if he asks you "What happens if I enter the doorway and a ghost greets me at the door?", say "Say hello". Have you thought about having a new furnace installed as a contingency on the sale?
