[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a bit skeptical of OP's account, because there zero gray area in his account, and he's far too certain of the outrageousness of his wife's behavior for me to believe he's really lookng for a discussion of the fairness of what she did. So, OP, what are you really looking to get out of this thread?[/quote]

OP here.

I am not looking for specific advice (e.g. use the guest bedroom as an office) I could easily figure that out myself. If you read my original post here is my question:

"If the roles were reversed I would have asked her if it would be ok for me to use the space as my personal office. I would not assume that she should stay in the basement. I also wouldn't assume that she should be the one to move into the basement if I want my own personal room.

Am I looking at this incorrectly? "

To me her behavior seems outrageous (although not really out of character for her). Hiring the contractors with consulting me was bad enough. Assuming I would stay in the basement worse still. Telling me there was nothing wrong with what she was doing because she paid for it(especially since I pay for the mortgage), left me almost speechless.

To me her behavior is outrageous.  So much so I started to wonder if maybe I was missing something. Hence my original post.[/quote]

But again, there's no gray area here, nowhere do you present some kind of sense of why you think you're missing something or why you've been tolerating this, none of the self-doubt that tends to come with someone just realizing their partner has been gaslighting them, etc. It feels like you've put out this ridiculously exaggerated version of what happened so you could go back to your wife and tell her even the internet thinks she's crazy to "win" some argument.[/quote]
OP here. The reason why I thought I might be missing something is because I thought her behavior was really over the top. I just wanted to see what other people thought. I have no intention of mentioning this thread to her. [/quote]
