[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a set up like this, and it works well because we don’t quibble over stuff like this. One person takes on all the decorating stuff and the rest of us do a fair amount of making fun/griping about some of the choices but everyone just sucks it up and pays their share.

At the point you aren’t willing to go along to get along, you have to just get out of it. Give the other people as much runway as you can so they can figure out if they can buy you out. Do an appraisal.

There’s no way you can be a hard ass about stuff like a dining room table and have it work out. This kind of arrangement has to be well lubricated by goodwill and forgiveness. If you think you can write stern emails to bring everyone into compliance with your version of correct behavior, it’s over.

Shared expenses at a beach house aren’t going to be agreed upon in advance. When you’re there and the a/c is broken, no one wants to send three quotes to their nephew and wait for his reply. You just get stuff done. Things need replacing all the time.  [/quote]m

Since when does broken A/C = high end DR furniture? [/quote]
