Just had a big bust up with DP. Am pregnant and hormonal and nesting like mad. It was about shelves.
In our hallway are two really, really ugly bits of furniture that are used as a shoe rack and general place to put post, etc. I hate them. They take up loads of space and look really untidy. They're a hangover from when DP lived on his own.
I found a really nice shoe rack in Ikea that will take up half the space and look much nicer and tidier. Leaving extra space in the hallway for the pram when baby arrives. So I bought it.
DP is refusing to put it up. Saying that he doesn't want to get rid of the ugly things as they work perfectly well.
I've just thrown a hormonal fit. During which i dragged up the fact that he expects me to use the same pram that his ex used when they had his DD. And the cot too. Because he bought them and they're 'his' so I shouldn't mind. I feel like nothing here is mine. It's all hand me downs from his previous life with his ex.
I hate his flat tbh. He bought it when he was with his ex because its really near where her parents live. But it's a shit area and I don't know what he was thinking really.
So it's a rubbish flat in a shit area and I have no say about it that at all. But I figure at least it doesn't have to have ugly furniture inside it that takes up loads of space. I don't understand why he doesn't want to make it nicer.
He thinks I'm BU to want to 'fix something that's not broken' and to buy things for the flat without consulting him first.
It doesn't help that he doesn't have very good taste to begin with. It's very studenty. It was a real battle to change the hideous curtains in the living room.
Sorry, this is a bit all over the place but im still upset. I just want the place to be nice before the baby comes. AIbU?
