[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe people are calling OP a snob because she wants furniture that doesn’t already have someone else’s body fluids on it or doesn’t want to live in the suburbs. Get a grip folks. You’re being ridiculously harsh.

OP. Ease him into a lifestyle you BOTH will appreciate...by taking about what you both value. But new...but cost effective and point out longevity and building a home together. Buy a mix of CL items and spring for the quality item that means the most for you. Doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Talk now to avoid harboring resentment. You could also think about why certain things matter to you for a self check.

What is wrong with wanting decent furniture or to live in a neighborhood that you like and that has a better commute? When my DH and I were in law school he literally lived in a converted shed. His parents had money and would have paid for him to live in a nicer place but he wanted to pay for everything on his own. When we moved in together there was no question of continuing to live in shed-like places and location was a high priority for me. When we bought our first home he totally understood when I wanted nicer furniture (which in the beginning came from thrift stores, Craigslist and IKEA). Having a home you feel comfortable in is important and it’s not an unreasonable desire on OP’s part.[/quote]

I agree but also bristled a bit about the formal dining set. Something about the phrasing seems bit over the top and princess-y as it seems like the cliche of what one doesn't need if you aren't 82 years old.
But again i agree[/quote]
