Renovation in an apartment is a long and complicated process that requires a lot of money. That is why men are often in no hurry to do it, putting it off to a later date. If you don't want to wait, try getting your husband to make the renovation using one of several methods available.
Conversation with husband
Just try to talk to your husband in private and try to convince him of the need for repairs. Perhaps the current state of the apartment suits him, but you must show that it does not suit you. For example, say that it is difficult for you to cook in an old kitchen with an unpleasant smell from pipes and ventilation, crumbling walls and ceilings, etc. If you have children, tell me how difficult it is for them to live in an outdated renovated apartment, which makes it unpleasant to invite friends, etc. Perhaps your arguments will still convince your husband of the need for repairs.
Help your husband solve financial problems if they are the main reason for refusing to repair. Try to cut costs and give up the frills for a while. Try to save at least a small amount from your salary every month. Thus, you will gradually collect the required amount for repairs in the entire apartment or a specific room. Most likely, in the future, your husband will independently continue to do the remaining work and find a way to solve his own financial problems.
Radical ways of persuasion
Threaten your husband with something if peaceful communication has not led to anything. For example, refuse to cook in a kitchen that needs renovation for a long time, or say that you have to move in with your parents until the situation is resolved. Of course, this should be done only if funds are available for repairs, but the husband simply does not show any desire to do it.
Give your husband a positive example. Tell us about the repairs made by your friend's husband, and add that she was lucky with such a hardworking and caring man. Usually this strongly "hurts" the representatives of the stronger sex, and they immediately try to please their soul mate and simply overtake the other man in the business in which he succeeded. If necessary, involve your parents in this: let them also help you convince your husband of the need to equip your apartment.
An extreme method of influencing the husband can be the device of a small mess in the apartment. For example, if you see that the old wallpaper is already cracking at the seams, you can “help” them a little to make the overall look of the apartment even more depressing. Also try not to clean for a while in the rooms that look the worst. Gradually, the husband will begin to pay more and more attention to the unpleasant situation around him and, perhaps, will begin to take measures to improve it.
