Oh, and if someone doesn't pay anything, they are not allowed to have a say?

Of course not, Maria, he who pays the piper calls the tune - the other one is left with the household, child-rearing, and keeping quiet!

So we really stimulated coffee production with our consumption ^^ after all, there was a lot to discuss. And with every detail we were unclear about – brewed a pot of coffee and then started planning with paper and pen and sometimes also discussing. Ultimately, we pretty much "gave in" about 50:50 to implement our wishes and ideas in our little house, but we also agreed on many things. But with us, two stubborn donkeys come together, which one already knows beforehand. We didn’t really fight, sure it gets loud sometimes when we don’t agree right away – I’m unfortunately someone who explodes quickly – but then you just sit down together until you find something suitable. If the relationship doesn’t have a good foundation, I imagine that’s difficult and exhausting, but when everything fits, you can also survive an argument and these sometimes stressful times.

We are very much in agreement on this, of course there are still contentious points, but fundamentally it’s about priorities regarding the budget. Critical discussions are also okay as long as they serve the outcome. Fortunately, we both have similar tastes #coolwomanathome


The woman is equally represented everywhere, is equally weighted in decision-making, everything else is just outdated.
I don’t give a damn about my salary and ego here...

Building a house is a joint project, after all, I am building for my family and not just for myself...

With us, the tasks are clearly divided. I do everything, from planning to the hard physical work. He messes around on the PC. A white wall and a bare light bulb are enough for him, I can be creative however I want. Still, there are occasional fights, where should the kitchen go? (Not even the floor has been decided yet), how will the new wall be fixed? Plaster or clinker bricks on the ground floor? It's just incredibly annoying when you spend weeks and months trying to find a good solution, explain it repeatedly and present interim results that are then approved and suddenly he says, "I want to do it this way," even though he just spent 5 minutes on it and then acts as if he's hearing my plan for the first time... He also once said I don't let him do anything (when I complain that I do 90% of the work and he does almost nothing). Then I tell him, go ahead, but if it's not finished in a month, I'll do it my way. One month, haha, unbeatable. He's the kind of guy you have to beg for 6 months before he actually pitches in... But his laziness has its good sides, because the money works out the same way. He earns it, I spend it. Though this year he's learned how to order things online, so I do have to keep an eye on that. Everything's fine. It's just moving a bit slowly and I have my angry outburst about it once a year.

Because we have the topic Disagreements with the Partner here and you wrote it here: Love or not – he wouldn’t have been my partner for long. There’s no balance at all between you two. Either you find it okay, don’t notice it, or you’ve become very cynical. There’s something negative about him in every one of your sentences. That’s not nice. Well, everyone is the architect of their own fortune.
