[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am curious about your overall financial situation - are you debt-free other than the mortgage?

Have plenty of money to do big updates without dipping into college savings and retirement?

If you are and his objections really are irrational, I would go to a counselor.

Yes, debt free other than our mortgage which has 14 years left on it. College savings are almost done, emergency savings of 18 months+, all retirement vehicles maxed out. Would not touch any of that.

I don’t think he’s irrational - he’s very logical about it. He just often fails to recognize that life is not just about how much wealth you can amasse before you die. As I said in the OP, he is a good person. Several pp’s have nailed it - I don’t need his permission but would really like his blessing. That’s what I have to work through - my intense need for him to not just agree but approve.[/quote]

he is not going to approve at least not before hand. but he might grudgingly admit you were right when the work is finished.

about a month ago my husband made a big stink about some contraption I bought at land of is for $120 that our girls can put hair accessories in. he was angry not only because of the price ("120 to store hair accessories!!!!") but also because he thought it would be too big.

once it came in and it looked fantastic and is extremely useful. the whole room looks much neater. so he loves it now.[/quote]
