DH decided to look into whether or not we qualify for a mortgage today on his own. He got the same answers I did. Part of me feels kind of sorry seeing him get so excited about "being a big boy" and looking into it on his own, but part of me feels satisfied that he got a dose of reality and realizes that I have done my research. Maybe now he will realize that it takes both of us to be on board to make progress, that I can't work miracles on my own.
