[quote=Anonymous]Are there certain things he WILL spend money on or is he just a tightwad in general? You say everyone who knows you knows that you love nice things. So you're not springing some new personality trait on your husband. I presume that part of why you two work is that you balance each other out, but that only works if you're meeting in the middle. Has he looked at, say, West Elm online to see what furniture costs these days? It sounds like you can both learn how to communicate better. You say he is forbidding you and shutting you down, but it also sounds like you hear his comment and then stop engaging. Schedule a time to sit down and be very clear about needing to set a budget for x, y, and z pieces. Express some empathy for his issues but be clear that you remaining unhappy isn't an option.[/quote]
