[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, any chance any of this is displaced anxiety about the new job or something? Have you been working or is it a SAHM transition? I'd think him for his obviously good intentions then change things without comment. That you feel so emotional seems to be about more, perhaps? Did you not want to take this job, would you rather WOOTH? I mean, an office is shared space too, but maybe you'd like a change of scene?[/quote]

Holy gaslighting!  She says she is starting a new WFH job and set up an office for herself, which her husband decided to rearrange without asking her. [/quote]

Her response suggests it's about more than moving the desk back. [/quote]

He did a lot more than that. Reread the OP. [/quote]

He put a trash can and printer and hung some hooks on the wall. He also left what she acknowledges was a very sweet note. Re-orienting the desk and swapping out a trash can don't seem to warrant tears. People are caught on the room details and missing ALL of the emotional subtext of OP's post and also that it is a transition. She sounds like she is not in a good place emotionally, perhaps re: that and also re: her "space in the family." Many on here would be over the moon to get a note like that from a DH but it barely rated with OP. More is going on that re-orienting the desk. There is anxiety in the mix and maybe more. [/quote]
