Partner and I have decided to buy a house together in 6 months time. When we first came up with this, he was quite into it, showing me mortgage calculations, looking on rightmove for ideas etc and now - nothing. He's bought and sold houses before, this is my first time and I'm so excited but I feel like I'm not "allowed" to talk about it as he always says stuff like "it's 6 months away, we have other stuff to think about before then". Which yes, we do - we have a big holiday, a big festival, various other bits and pieces but this "Buying a house" thing is a HUGE deal to me and I feel so shit that I can't talk about it. I also worry when he won't talk about it that he's getting cold feet on the idea (this has happened before). Should we be able to talk about it or is he right? 6 months is ages away and we need to concentrate on the present for now?
Another one is that my kids are going on holiday with their dad next year for a week meaning we are child-free for a week. I suggested we go for a romantic holiday to Italy just me and him. His initial reaction was "yes, let's do that". Now whenever I bring it up he's like "that's ages away, can't even think about that right now" or "why do you need an answer on that right now?" Would it hurt to look into it a little bit or AIBU?
