Fellow young couple here. My fiance and I just bought a house and experienced much of the same thing. I can tell you from that experience it has much less to do with you and much more about him trying to figure out how to get things done while trying to not make house diying your personality for a few months. Not only is it overwhelming, it is also exhausting.
What helped us was a few things.
-Ask families and friends if they’d come help with painting! -Focus on one room at a time, and figure out which ones are absolutely necessary to get done first. -Take your time. There will always be stuff to do. -Make sure you talk about the overall game plan of the project. This way you are in agreement and on the same page about the look and feel of the house. -Don’t be afraid to work on separate things and listen to your own music to keep your sanity. -Spend some time away from the house and go on a date!
I could keep going, but I think you’ll get the overall idea. I hope this helps!
