[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long have you been married? any kids? Speaking from experience, this miserly behavior will get much worse over time. The point is, [b]he doesn't care that you are miserable not having decent furniture.[/b] You are not going to spend "thousands of dollars" on a table. He's not listening.[/quote]

OP here. I think it is this that is gutting to me. Anyone who knows me, knows that I like nice things and would like a nice living space. Of course there is a difference between buying a 5K couch vs a 1200k couch or a 3k table vs a $600 table.

At this point in our life, I do NOT want to buy target furniture or have mismatched old furniture from his bachelor days. Currently I use an empty box as a side table as we do not have a pair. Our dining table is old and the fabric on the chairs is gross and peeling. He does not see it as a problem. I am not allowed to look for fabric to reupholster those, nor am I allowed to look for side tables.

He automatically turns down any discussion that suggests a side table will cost more than $50. He also has insanely unreasonable demands for what the prices of furniture should be. He wants a $300 couch and a $50 table.

Never mind the fact that it does not matter to him that this IS important to me and makes me miserable.[/quote]
