after i read what you wrote, i decide to forgive u. its just u need your wife to forgive u so that your family will be happily move into your new home. afterall, u're indeed a responsible man. i'm sure your wife also knows it in her heart, she just doesn't like that you don't respect her.
i and my husband had the same situation like yours. he insisted to buy an apt with lease contract with good discount few month ago. i even took my check book in case if i need to make the deposit. the agent showed us the lower and upper floor to see the layout. at the end, i insisted i wouldn't buy it as i have no chance to see the apt inside. my husband really really wants to buy.
Finally my husband didn't buy cos i said you can buy, but i don't like it. he was very disappointed that day. the price of that particular apt has gone up a few millions over these months. my husband sometimes says to me that he missed out a good chance because of me.
i guess if i didn't stop him, he would bought the apt. i understand how u feel and you shouldn't feel bad and u should go to tell your wife the living environment will be improved for the whole family. besides in HK, its really hard to find an ideal home with nice view without paying an expensive price. she needs to understand that there is a trade-off.
if she continues to blame on you, you should keep quiet and let her until she has no more energy to express her frustration. don't even try to argue with her. her angry is completely normal as u didn't respect her.
cheer up and be patient. wish your family will hv a good life in your new apt soon.

It depends on who pay it.
If you use your $ to buy that flat, and you will pay the mortgage by yourself, I don't think there are any problems ...........
who knows what will happen in 下年尾!!! But definitely your wife will "scold" you, "tease" you and "tortune" you until 下年尾.
4 scenerios will happen:
1)she is happy w/ the flat when you get the flat and the property market is even better than this year. Then you will be free and the whole family will be happy ever after.
2) She is happy w/ the flat but the property market drops quite a lot. You may use $14M to buy sth even better than this one. As a result, she is not happy again and surely she will "tease" you, "scold" you and "tortune" you again.
3) She is NOT happy w/ it but the property market is very good. So you can sell the property at (let's say) $20m. She will say you are a genius to gain so much profit. Then you can use the profit to buy the one that she likes.
皆大歡喜
4) She is NOT happy w/ it plus the market is bad. You will end up in a longlasting nightmare.
As a wife, i think you are a good hb and a good father.
If i were your male friend, i suggest you make some profit and go rather than hear your wife's 常娥!
