    your wife needs to grow up. do not buy the house. if she cheats because of it then leave her sorry ***. if she wants something so bad let her make some money.your home after 16 hours,she can work and help out. you can also find a house to rent,then when something breaks or needs fixed then the landlord can fix it. if she really loves you for who you are she would never cheat on you or even threaten you with it.

    Is she crazy tell her to hang on the economy is getting worse house prices will keep going down. go to local banks and ask to see a list of there foreclosures go to town hall and as for a list of tax foreclosures you can often buy them cheaply actually just for what they owed in back taxes. nice houses too. tell your wife to be patient and stop being immature does she really believe with 6 kids coming up with 20,000 for pipes is a piece of cake? tell her to grow up! and get a reality check and try condoms for now. 6 kids is enough and you can easily solve the space issue with bunk beds and a little oragnization. I got divorced my kids were 3, 1 1/2 and 6 months old we moved into a two bedroom townhouse. they had bunk beds and survivied, kids need LOVE, food, clothes fun and attention to survive not more space they can play outside for that. I eventually added a bedroom and still live in my fully paid for condo 13 years later worked my *** off to pay if off quickly. but I got it inexpensive from someone getting foreclosed on. my two girls share a bedroom, boys share and I got remarried 4 years husband and I share 3rd room obviously. but we love it here kids are close to each other big deck and living and dining room and kitchen 1.5 bath pool for condo complex. You make do with what you have it my point. and you do not do into crazy debt and unreasonable projects you can not afford. that solves nothing. tell you wife to:

    Try going to www.joycemeyers.org I start my morning every day with my coffee watching her show on line ( no commercials that way) and you can watch it when you have time. She is a best selling author and speak who has a show called "enjoying everyday life". she talks about real life things we as adults go through like how to enjoy your lot in life, kids, chores, bills how to be a confident woman, making a fresh start and more. She is funny, down to earth and amazing. And also when I watch some how amazingly it is just what I need to hear that day. you can also click previous episodes and watch ones you missed. she has gotten me through some rough times and she will help you and your wife too I am sure. good luck! I hope this helped you.

    GeeZ! You are in a pickle. I wouldn't buy anything and if she is so immature, I would just let her cheat and maybe she will find someone else that will put up with her childish games....You would think that after 6 children, she would want to go out there and possibly get pregnant again. On your salary you can;t affford to fix something like that and you are right, it would be better to get any apartment for now...sounds like she has some issues and sorry to tell you think but I am pretty sure her childishness is not going to get any better, so it looks like you are raising 7 children,. not 6...

    First of all, need to write it differently, hard to follow. Why does she want to move, is your current place not good enough? Second, you may be able to get help w/repairing the plumbing if you are low income. Before you think about moving on w/this purchase, call county agencies or tri-cap and see if there is anything out there. Remember, there are a lot of unexpected expenses w/a house, believe me, we bought our first house...within the first year we had to replace furnace AND air conditioner, ugh, that hurt. Don't get in over your heads, you'll end up losing the house.

    I find it hard to believe a woman wants a house without a bathroom. The only time I don't expect one is if I'm camping....

    Don't buy the house, it is causing more stress on your marriage than anything, it is just a house, find another, work on your marriage!

    This is all unnecessary stress!

    if she's ready to play up she does not love him. if she's continually nagging she does not love him. if she wants to put him under more pressure but not prepared to pitch in she does not love him. he is being used and abused divorce is overdue.
