[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regardless of financial status or work status, spouses need to both agree on large financial expenditures. One spouse doesn’t get to just say, “Well we can afford X, so I’m doing it even though you don’t agree.” That’s not how marriage works. Not a functioning marriage anyway. [/quote]

So you agree OP is being a jerk about this then?

Reasonable people can disagree about the value of private school or not (and it's kind of shocking how much of the thread has been dedicated to that topic, which we don't have enough information to comment on).

But what is absolutely clear based on the OP and followups is that the wife's POV has been dismissed entirely, which I totally agree is not how a functioning marriage should look. - "make her," etc.  We have zero evidence that there has been a mature discussion about the pros and cons on this topic from both adults (as evidenced by OP's inability to articulate any of his wife's reasons, despite being asked).  And we have ample evidence that the person wanting to put their foot down and say it's my way or nothing here is the OP.
