the rails in a<\/a> hurry when family members aren\u2019t on the same page about how to proceed.<\/p>\nA husband wrote the story below and talked about how he and his wife are fighting over what to do with the house she inherited.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take a look!<\/p>\n
\u201cMy wife (39F) and I (34M) have been married eight years.<\/p>\n
We have two kids, ages five and one.<\/p>\n
Between the years 2020 and 2022 she lost both her parents and I lost my mother. They have been very tough years but we made it through them together.<\/p>\n
She ended up with her family home in the inheritance and a good amount of money that her parents had set aside.<\/p>\n
The issue we are running into is that the house she got is in a different country and it makes no sense to keep.<\/p>\n
They have a plan about what they want to do.<\/p>\n
Selling it and investing the money could not only allow us to set our kids up for their futures, it could also allow us to retire comfortably within 15 years. She agrees selling is the best option her only issue is the timeline in doing it.<\/p>\n
I want to sell now and she wants to wait five years from now. Originally she stated 3 years when we first discussed it.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been very hands off on the process and encouraged her to do what is comfortable as I fully understand the weight of having to sell your family home and the reality that it brings for the loss of her parents.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s still waiting\u2026<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just that now as we are reaching 3 years we are slowly wasting the opportunity we have been given. For her the main issue is her aunt lives at the house currently but plans to move out sometime in the future but doesn\u2019t know when.<\/p>\n
Her aunt is a great woman who has helped massively through the whole process who we both agree deserves whatever we can do for her.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve explained to my wife that while I understand you want to give her as much time as she wants, every year we wait is like throwing out money.<\/p>\n
He offered up a new plan.<\/p>\n
My suggestion was that we could take a 50k and use that to rent her a place near where the house is so she can continue living in the area while allowing us to sell the house.<\/p>\n
The 50k would be a gift to her with no strings attached and if she decided she just wanted to move out of the city and use the money for anything else it would make no difference to me as she deserves it for helping our family.<\/p>\n
His wife doesn\u2019t see it his way.<\/p>\n
In response to my suggestion she proceeded to say all I care about is money and I am being greedy. I understood that she was probably just dealing with a lot of emotions about the whole process and am very sympathetic to that so I didn\u2019t push any further.<\/p>\n
Now anytime I bring this up she characterizes me as a greedy person that\u2019s asking her to throw her aunt out of the house after all she\u2019s done and I feel this is really unfair and genuinely hurts me deeply. I feel like I am just trying to help my family succeed.<\/p>\n
I just want to know if maybe I\u2019m just not able to be introspective enough in this situation and maybe I am much more greedy than I realize.<\/p>\n
AITA for asking my wife to sell the home she got in her inheritance earlier than she wants?\u201d<\/p>\n
