[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe the folks who are defending the wife. I've been married 24 years. My husband lets me  handle all the bills and he gets a weekly stipend.  He is horrible with money and he knows it. I would never order a home renovation without his input that is beyond selfish and rude. It doesn't matter who is paying. [/quote]

We have no idea what her side of this story is to know if there's anything to defend or not. For all we know, when he says "Before we could set up an office she transformed the space into a storage space for paper and miscellaneous furniture," it was really six months of her asking him to help her turn it into an office for them to share and him finding every excuse not to do it, so she gave up and just moved stuff in. And when he says she never consulted him about the renovations, it could have been another six months of her asking him to work with her on a plan for renovating the space that they would each chip in 50% on, him putting it off because he wanted to spend money on trips to Vegas with his buddies, so she finally gave up, did her own plan on her own dime, and now doesn't want him freeloading off her time and money. Both of these alternatives suggest a marriage in serious need of counseling, but also suggest that there's a potential alternative narrative here (that's no inconsistent with what OP posted as the "facts") where she's not the bad guy.
