Who is being unreasonable - wardrobe v drawers

[Anxiousnance]

Hi;
Just wondering who is being unreasonable here. Context is me and DP (don’t live together, no shared finances)

Person 1: has clothes stored in drawers in home, small hanging space but happy with how their system works

Person 2: has a wardrobe at home, is inconvenient when staying at partners to not have storage space hanging wise.

PErson 2 believes person one should buy a wardrobe as everyone has one and it would help them hang clothes when they stay

PErson 1 is happy with their arrangement and says if PErson 2 wants to hang clothes on a rail or wardrobe, they should buy one for their partners home if it means that much

Who is being unreasonable? (For context, there isn’t a solution like hanging clothes elsewhere etc. Just asking who should buy the item)

Thanks!!

Could you not just go halves on it and stop bickering

Feels like a strange thing to be arguing about to be honest! How long have you been together and how often/long do you stay at each others?

Person 2 should buy a rail if they want one. How long are they staying for that they would need a wardrobe?

It’s not bickering :) it’s generally quite lighthearted but I have my views in it

If person 2 is that bothered then they should just buy it? A rail isn't even that expensive, doesn't ave to be a full wardrobe.

Or buy an over-the door hanging rack to put up when Person 2 is there?

Missed this. Person 2 is being unreasonable about this. Not everyone has one, I have drawers and a valet stand rail. I wouldn't want a wardrobe as they take up a lot of space in a room, I would only accept one if I was actually going to be living with someone, for visits a rail should do.

Person 2 is being unreasonable. They need to learn to be a bit more flexible. There is always somewhere to hang things if absolutely essential and most of the time it isn't.

How long is person 2 staying for? Surely a hook on the back of a door would do for a few hangers' worth of stuff?

Person 2 needs to pay for it if they want it

well yeah, but if there's that much kerfuffle about clothes, can you imagine the war about breakfast and toilet rolls!

I think person 2 should make do with what is offered in person 1's house really. I think it is a bit rude to dictate another person's furniture, particularly if they are happy with what they have.

Surely the problem could be solved with a hook on the back of the door to hang a clothes hanger from? Presumably person 2 only needs limited clothes if it isn't their house.

They aren’t staying in the sense of one chunk of time, it’s just regular partner stopping over. Probably guessed but I’m PErson one - my partner does have space for me but minimal and it wasn’t as if he bought it specially.

Person 2 should buy it if they want it that much - a simple hanging rail with cover would suffice.

There’s loads of creative solutions to this that don’t involve a full-on wardrobe - but I reckon your DP could research and pay? Offer to go 50%. Be nice to each other!
