My DH and I have been married 8 years and have 2 children.
We recently sold a rental property (was mine before I met DH and i became an accidental landlord) and we’re about to sell the house we live in which is DH’s and put all the money together and buy somewhere putting all the money together.
Anyway, house prices in our area have gone absolutely wild. Houses are selling for crazy money and DH and I are hesitant to pay a lot more than we think the house is worth.
I relayed I conversation to my friends that my DH and I had spoken at length about the future and what would happen if for instance, we divorced and couldn’t recoup the money as we’d paid way over the odds, one of us died etc and the costs of the upkeep of the house. Just general musings about the future and how you’re never sure what is round the corner.
My friends told me straight that they thought my DH and I even discussing divorce was weird. I tried to explain that we’re not getting divorced - just trying to be cautious with money which we generally are.
Are we weird? I thought when you’re talking about spending (and possibly over spending) hundreds of thousands of pounds you’d cover all the possibilities?
