Am I wrong?

My husband and I have been married for six months now. We have been house shopping for about a year.

Our current living situation is not ideal, as we are staying with my MIL. I love her and have a fantastic relationship with her, she is just like a second mom to me.

Recently the housing market has been trash, as you all know. It has been difficult to find a decent house with a good price. My family owns a 40 acre farm, and my great grandmother’s house will be vacant once the renter moves out in November.

We have the funds to pay for a house in cash, but don’t want to buy because we live in a rural area with older and worn down homes.

This house has been kept up for years. It’s in pristine condition. Although it’s a bit small in square footage (maybe like 1300 sq feet), it has three bedrooms, one and 1/2 baths, and an unfinished basement.

My grandfather has said numerous times that if we are interested in moving in, he would not charge rent because we “will be inheriting it anyway”. All he has asked is that we pay the light and water bill.

My husband has refused this offer. He has not wanted to buy, and now he does not want to move into a (basically free) home.

I need space. I am constantly desiring to decorate the way we want to, I want to be able to walk down the hall naked after a shower if need be. I want to be able to have children in a home when we are ready.

I have explained this to him and it seems like he doesn’t care.

I am a stay at home wife and cannot work due to some health issues at the moment. I am planning on going back to school next month and will be done with my degree after a few semesters.

Am I in the wrong for being upset about this? What can I do to change his mind?
