To be feeling unappreciated?

I moved in with my now DH a few years ago, it's his house however his ex gf also lived here along with their child for a couple of years before going their separate ways.

Living here was meant to be temporary however we completely redid his house and I have tried to make it a home to save the ball ache of moving.

I don't like the house, I never have and so we agreed that as we are now married, to set up our own home would be a good move.

Dh is very attached to this house but after 2 years finally agreed to sell. I have spent the last 4 days from 6am until after dark cleaning, Decluttering and making it look presentable for the photos for estate agents.

Instead of getting any thanks from dh all I got were a few rude remarks about me having OCD. I don't at all, I just like things to be clean and uncluttered so someone else can then see the house for what it might be for them.

Aibu for feeling unappreciated and to tell him to sell his own fucking house because I'm done helping!

I can see both sides here

He doesn't really want to sell but has agreed to for your sake

You want the house at your level of tidiness and if he thinks that's a bit OTT, he's not really going to be particularly appreciative is he?

Perhaps he thinks the house sale and the tidiness are more about you, than him if that makes sense?

you want to sell the house, so you have cleaned/organised it as you see fit. What's your issue?

Yeah - it's 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. His heart isn't in it, but he's never the less going along with it because it's what you want - I'd say that does show he appreciates you. On the other hand, he should acknowledge that selling a house takes effort.
