[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly, yes, you can. Is this something you can work through, though? Is he controlling in general, as others have suggested?

It's hard to judge without knowing how much you want to spend on said furniture and if there is anything else at play here, like you are saving to buy a place in a few years and furniture won't necessarily work elsewhere. Personally, we've lived with our rather shoddy bedroom furniture for 10 years, since i figured styles would change before we got a 'dream home.'

Compromise: Try estate sales!

Well, early in our marriage we were broke and made little money. So we did not have much extra on updating our home. We made good money now and can certainly easily afford a few upgrades to our living space. It just never occurs to him as in his eyes it is unnecessary and frivolous. My demands are:

- no furniture from target and Walmart
- good quality wood antiques from FB marketplace, estate sales or other second hand stores

He hears me turning down Walmart and panics and thinks I want to buy a 2k table.

At this point I am so resentful and angry at him I just want to walk and build a home and nest with someone who would appreciate my desire to make us a nice home.[/quote]
