[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to OP his concerns include:
1. He just paid for an expensive international trip she wanted to go on.
2. He is concerned about the economy because he fears a recession. NOTE: FACT =  &gt;8% inflation (&gt;15% if using historical calculation method)
3. He pays for all HH expenses because as she put it he wants her to keep all her earned income.

This does not sound like an abusive situation from his end. He is doing what a husband is supposed to do. He is making sure the family is financially stable and ALSO providing nice things (i.e., expensive international trips).

The OP simply isn't on the same page as her husband. She doesn't want to walk down that financially conservative path that he husband is trying to lead the family down.  
When it comes to compromise according to the OP the ONLY person compromising is her husband. He essentially gave up trying to convince her and told her &quot;do what you want.&quot;

I can imagine, also, that because they are in an apartment the husband expects that they will eventually relocate to a home and in addition to items 1,2,3 above is wondering &quot;why spend money on stuff for this temporary living situation which probably will not match the décor of our future home.&quot;

If you want to divorce over furniture then you should get a divorce ASAP. Don't have kids and get your divorce. It will be better for him in the long run. You are not suited for marriage.[/quote]

Most people think it’s normal, even in a recession, to pay good money for a high-quality used nightstand. If you think that is inappropriate then fine, but you’re not like most people.

Well, I apologize. I didn't realize that in 2022 a husband has no responsibility for the family finances. [b]Your right he is a jerk for paying all HH expenses.[/b] in that case, I guess OP should step herself up and start paying for everything herself and letting her husband keep all "his" money. (yeah, this is sarcasm) Sarcasm aside, you sound kind of bonkers to associate husbands trying to provide for their family as outdated. Are you seriously indicating that women get married to men and not not expect the husband to contribute to the financial security of the family? If he isn't supposed to be doing that then what is he supposed to be doing?  [/quote]

What does that mean? Did OP say he fully covers the mortgage and electric bill etc etc? And she gets to keep all her own money for herself? But then isn't allowed to spend it on what she likes? Brunch Granny I think you've got it twisted....that and a lot of things honestly[/quote]
