It's easy to be a critic. And your better half happens to be one.
But honestly, the way I see it, it is better to drag your better half to be fully involved in all the discussions and decisions. If things go wrong, all wrong mah, blame who? So that you will feel better if something really bad crops up. Problems need to be solved, but it's not an easy one. Going forward, we all don't know the property scene either in Sg or My. Better still, let yr better half make the final decision. Problem solved.
Hope my nonsense post will make you feel lighter (but the problem is still yours to solve, hahaha)
