[quote=Anonymous][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]

What do you mean “allowed”? Like does he physically block you from going?

Do you have kids? It’s not divorcing over furniture, it’s divorcing because he’s controlling and doesn’t care about your needs.

I’d just flat out say “I can either buy furniture for our home, or I can buy furniture for the new apartment I’ll be moving into if you continue this BS. Your choice” [/quote]
