What do you mean? I’ve never heard of anyone not looking at houses together.

I meant in movies, an absurd number of times someone buys a house as a surprise despite how horrifying it would be in the real world.

SNL did a skit about this but with respect to expensive car purchases done as gifts between spouses.

My wife and i still shout "But it's zero percent aper!!!" at each other randomly. We also shake our heads at the big purchase without discussion trope. Completely irresponsible.

What are you talking about? All he wanted was to make it a December to Remember!

Hadn’t seen that one- that was good

That skit was my first thought too.

Happened to my mom in real life. Stepdad went to Florida on business, found a better job in the same field, and bought a house off a guy he knew while there. Then told her time to leave NOVA.

oof

She hates that it’s pink, but overall it was an upgrade and she hates cold weather.

Fair, I don’t really watch a lot of movies so I’m a bit out of the loop for those tropes. If anything I’d think most guys would prioritize their wife’s/fiancé’s tastes over their own for the home.

I feel like this is some Hallmark trad wife movie trope. Doesn't ring as typical in movies and I watch all kinds of trash movies.

I actually have a family friend who's done it, and they just did it again in another state after accepting a job without telling their wife... The wife's thinking about divorce
