How do you stay happily married when she made you do something you did not want to do and you have to work longer and harder?
I don't buy the happy wife happy life thing. I am in this marriage also and I count. Not just the money either.
Tell her we can't do it and thats that.
Is staying in the same house, "making her do something she doesn't want to do?
Isn't she in this marriage also? I especially like that its followed up with "we cant do it and that's that" line. You do realize this whole statement contradicts itself

How do I tell my wife "no"?
I don't very often, but when I have to it usually just sounds like "No".
Jennie wanted a new house last year. We could afford it and she wanted to move closer to the kids school. It would also put me closer to my office and we'd been in our house for 15 years. We already had a big house, so we bought a bigger house and spent a wad remodeling it. We put our old house on the market and moved into the new one. Seven months later, I told her "I'm moving back to Riverwalk and selling this house. I don't like the neighborhood, the neighbors or the fact that we have no acreage...start packing our ****". She said, "God, I'm glad you said that. I hate it here and can't wait to go back HOME." We put that house on the market and had a contract in four days. 2016 was a colossal cluster with us moving all our stuff in May and back in December....our kids call it our midlife crisis. We got lucky that the Harvey floodwaters stopped three doors down from that Kingwood house and we sold it for a good profit. My next move will be to the cemetery.
Sometimes, the grass ain't any greener. I don't have a problem telling my wife "no" and she doesn't have a problem accepting it. I told her years ago, "you might cut me off, but you can't make everyone cut me off".

That’s not the case. It’s more about does it make sense. I love to fish but can’t justify having buying a boat because I know I would use it once a month at most. I also want a UTV that would cost 15k but would only use it 8 times a year. I have thought about both for a long time but haven’t purchased one.

You took the word let’s literally[emoji23]. My wife knows that the 5 weeks vacation I get a year 3 weeks are spent hunting and 2 weeks are for her. I always communicate my hunting schedule with her and every once in a while she gives push back mainly around the holidays. It’s usually that she’s not spending Thanksgiving with my family while I’m hunting and the same for New Years.

If you been married over 30 years and ya'll are both over 60 just play dumb. If that don't work? Tell her that this subject real turns you on & start bugging her every day & night for a BJ & some good lovin'. She will start ignoring you right quick & in a hurry! Works for me! If that don't work!? Buy a motorcylce and take a one way ride to Cuba. #2 Is a winner, winner chicken diner!

Show her a plan of putting the said overage into your current mortgage...you are pretty young & can tell you there is a great sense of weight lifted when the mortgage is paid and no debt.
The problem is we don’t have a goal but that’s something we should work on. I’m not much a planner for anything so that doesn’t help.

I’m 7 miles from the office and she is 4 miles from hers. I could buy a really nice place with 20 acres 35 to 40 miles from the office but would never want to have that 1 to 1.5 hr daily commute.
