Please get the sofa.

Your forever man will love it because it reflects you.

Can't wait to see a photo.

Hi
I’ve been divorced two years out of a pretty abusive relationship and finally got my own home again. Hooray! I have seen a beautiful bright pink velvet sofa but don’t know if I should buy it! I do want to meet my forever man so is it foolish buying such a girly colour? Maybe I should just go for another bright colour that isn’t pink
Am I massively overthinking this?!

Buy the sofa and do the Freedom programme if you haven't already.

Don't even think about starting to date and looking for a forever man until you wouldn't dream of asking a question like this! Your house, your sofa, your life. Maybe someone great will come along and fit into it, and maybe they won't. Either way, your sense of self will be intact.

SO-FA! SO-FA!

It’s not even that bright, anyway. I was imaging something off the set of the Barbie movie.

Just reading the title I was like "YES!"

Reading the whole post I'm like "DOUBLE YES!"

YES. My one new purchase after renovating my house (which took all my savings and then some) was a ridiculous, wonderful patchwork velvet sofa and it literally makes me smile every time I walk into my living room! Totally worth it! And excited to see yours when it's in!

Terrible pic of mine attached!

Do it!

Yes but buy one of these! Not a boxy thing.

(I bought one of the sofas in these pics when I got divorced albeit not in pink!)

SnowFrogJelly · 26/04/2024 00:26

Yes!!

Caroparo52 · 26/04/2024 00:07

When I got my freedom wings I bought several red velvet sofas which make me smile every day because bastard xdh insisted on leather ones they are beautiful

Do it!! After my divorce and finally being able to choose what I wanted. I chose bright pink glittery walls for my living room. When the sun hits them they make me so happy when they sparkle, and because I'm also a sad fucker I'll sit on a night time shining my phone light at them 😅

TheCultureHusks · 25/04/2024 23:23

Anyway OP, if you do find the perfect man and he hates the sofa, you can just get a nice throw!

once you’ve put it over his head, he won’t be able to even see the sofa.

@Librarybooker I really love that orange chair. Where did you get it from?

Another one saying buy the pink sofa, OP!

It was from an antique shop about 20 years ago, we just had it reupholstered by a local upholsterer last year. have 2 chairs - slightly different shapes - in this fabric.

Littlefish · 25/04/2024 23:17

The sofa in my kitchen was that colour for 10 years. I absolutely loved it.

The whole eating end of the kitchen is now painted that colour, so I have a plainer sofa.

RogueFemale · 25/04/2024 23:17

No. Sofas are expensive and you will regret it soon if you a bright pink one.

MissBedelia · 25/04/2024 23:17

Yes. Buy it

For the love of God woman you better have that sofa ordered already!!

My mum has a bright red sofa with zebra print cushions, a zebra print rug and bright blue walls in her living room. A pink sofa is nothing.

IDontLoveTheWayYouLie · 25/04/2024 23:10

Fuck it. Get the pink sofa!!

Leeds2 · 25/04/2024 23:10

If you want it, get it!!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 25/04/2024 23:09

I can’t have a velvet sofa (we have dogs and a cat and I have an enormous arse, and a velvet sofa would be trashed in an instant), and even if I could, I think I’d struggle to persuade dh to get a bright pink one - so you need to get one so I can live vicariously through you, @Proseccodreams.

EmpressoftheMundane · 25/04/2024 23:09

Do it!

ConsuelaHammock · 25/04/2024 23:09

I have a pink chaise longue in my landing.
