[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being on the same page about finances is incredibly important.

Part of this discussion should include how much you'd both be willing to spend on new furniture, and how much you have in your savings and your general financial health.

But yes, working together to make big purchases is important.  And if you can't do that, I do think divorcing could be an option.[/quote]

DP. Adding to this post: And if they cannot work together re: end tables and general finances, setting budgets, and communicating without "forbidding" going on, they are in for a horrible time when they have children, or when the kids they have (if any) get old enough to want extracurricular activities etc.

OP, if he is this uptight about replacing the peeling furniture you describe, imagine how he will react when you want to take a family vacation that is more than X dollars, or when your kid is interested in joining a sports team, taking a dance class (or years of them), doing a summer camp of any kind ever, going to a STEM camp over winter break etc. etc.....If you don't have kids yet, don't have them until he's treated for whatever anxiety etc. is taking this form, because you will spend your kids' lives from 0 to 21 trying to wrest money out of him for everything from sports cleats to school supplies to college tuition.
