[quote=Anonymous]I think the bigger issue I see, and you noted, was that it makes you sad that he does not care that having a nice home is important to you. I agree. I have a good friend that has to run everything by her dh. She is so unhappy and constantly complains. House is pretty bad tbh.

I get being frugal and one needs all the other financial decisions in place like retirement, college funds, emergency funds, etc but I’ll never get how one would deny the other person a lovely home - whatever that is. It is the one place we spend most of our time. We should want to be there.

I have always had a well- decorated living space and I have done that with IKEA, target, home goods as well as high- end stores and antique finds. As I got older and had more money I focused on buying quality pieces. Those pieces last so one needs to recognize that initial outlay higher but you may never need to replace.

Sounds like he’s changing but I’d agree to a monthly allowance for each of you. You save yours until you have what you need for the item you want.  My dh supports me on home items so no issue there for us but allowance just gives you a bit of control for whatever your “ thing” is that the other feels is wasteful.[/quote]
