Wasn't sure where to post this, but since it's associated with my house, I figured this was as good as any. My wife mainly complains about this house, living here, how much it costs to live here you name it she'll complain about it. Like I've said before I gave her an out, I gave her the last word in the decision of buying this place and she agreed we'd buy it. She claims it's too expensive to live here, according to her our bills run over $2000 a month. My wife keeps track of every penny we spend in notebooks, several years worth in each notebook. $2000 a month always sounded like a lot to me so today I did some digging around in her notebooks and compared expenses living here compared to living in Cameron Oklahoma our old house. And after going back 6 months on the new place it varies from $1300 to $1500 a month, not $2000 a month. The old place going back 6 months before the sale was $1100 to $1400 a month. Not a big difference considering the area we live in now is listed in the top 10 places to live in Oklahoma, the town is not just a bunch of overpriced run down rent houses where 8 out of 10 homes are acupied by drug abusers. Don't get me wrong Quinton Oklahoma has its share of drug heads and run down houses but far less than Cameron that I'm aware of. And the area is absolutely beautiful, just minutes from the biggest man made lake in Oklahoma it's an outdoorsman paradise for hunting or fishing and my neighbors aren't so shady that I'm constantly worried if they're robbing me blind while I'm at work. So a couple hundred dollars a month more to live here seems well worth it. My wife doesn't like change and never has, but it seems as though she tries to make me feel guilty that we moved or feel like I made a bad decision to move here. I'm perfectly happy here, this is everything I could have wanted in a home, this is my dream home but apparently it's not hers and it's just aggravating. I lived in Cameron about 6 years longer than I wanted to because she didn't want to move so I sucked it up a kept on keeping on. Now I feel she just needs to suck it up like I did, I'm soon to be 56 years old I'm not selling out and moving again, I told her awhile back. Until I die you're living in Quinton Oklahoma, after that you can sell out and move anywhere your heart desires. Just wondering if anyone else's wife plays these games? OK, I'm done complaining, just needed to vent a little bit.
