No more than any other husband and wife. As a rule, we never go to bed angry with each other and we generally work out any miscommunication within a few hours. This is one of those extremely rare situations where it took talking out the issue over a few days. At this point, she feels better because I am actively listening to her concerns (and I think she is phrasing them better rather than just giving me feelings). I feel better because she is allowing me to research what it would mean to live in a house like that. (Things like how much to fill the propane tank and how often. Would the heat still work if the power went out? How to take care of a well and a septic system? How much does garbage pick up cost?)

This thread was meant to be fun. I over-reported on some of the drama and mostly left out the dry, boring stuff where we agreed. Try not to read too much into it.
