Ex-wife offered couch and FDH accepted
BM got a new couch and offered FDH the sectional they bought together when they were happily married. FDH is moving into a house at the end of June. I will eventually move into that house. I don't want that couch. Should I try to stop him from taking it?

OMG I would set it on fire!!!
OMG I would set it on fire!!! Gross!!
no kidding. Ew!

From what I understand,

He thinks it is so nice of her and is further evidence of the success of their co-patenting relationship. Gag!
My DH did the reverse and it
My DH did the reverse and it pissed me right off. I got a new treadmill, my old one worked but was starting to act up and just short out from time to time. When I got the new treadmill, the old one went out to the garage to await a trip to the dump (or so I thought) A couple of months later, I noticed it was gone and asked DH what he did with it because he never mentioned taking it anywhere. He gave it to BM2.
I was pissed because he called her up, like they are little best buds and offered her my stuff and delivered it to her no less! He said it was because she had mentioned to him that she was looking for one and he figured it would save him the fee to take it to the dump. Whatever. I hope it shorted out and the skank fell off of the damn thing... and why would she want my garbage anyway???
Yeah, why would she want
Yeah, why would she want something that was yours?? Very weird!! Maybe she will get sucked into the thing and disappear!!
Hell yeah, that's an even
Hell yeah, that's an even better scenario!
Your dh sounds like my EX dh
Your dh sounds like my EX dh - gotta be mister nice guy to the bm without any consideration for me.
Not a chance would anything
Not a chance would anything of hers knowingly make it into our home. Set those boundaries now!
Ok I have to add though that
Ok I have to add though that men are just stupid about this kind of stuff. My DH would totally NOT see it as some memior from his and BMs relationship.. he would see it as FREE furniture and would see no big deal with it. I don't think men tend to personalize things as much as we do. At least my DH does not.
We had a crappy dining set.
We had a crappy dining set. BM was getting rid of their old solid wood set. So we 'inherited' it. To buy the same thing would cost us $3,000. We got it for nothing. It is a little dated (ye olde colonial) style for me but for the meantime I will not complain. But if Dh ever suggests 'christening' it he is in for a shock. I refuse to do the wild thing on a table his ex ever ate off!
But this being said DH had to do some convincing to get me to agree. And it is not forever... guaranteed.
No freaking way. She is an
No freaking way. She is an Ice Maiden and has probably put some voodoo spell on it and ... oh geez!
We never talk. In nearly 10
We never talk. In nearly 10 yrs I think she has said 50 words to me. Seriously! It is better this way. I think marriage was her ticket to motherhood. She never really wanted to be a wife. The ironic thing is she wanted control of her sons so badly that DH didn't fight it in court and she 'won'. Guess who has an 'empty nest' and who has 2 sons (19 and 21) at home still? She so wants them gone but she can't get rid of them. BWAHAHAHAHA!
Thank you imsmom, you are
Thank you imsmom, you are right. He just wants to fill the house with furniture and I can redecorate when I get there. And i probably would be okay with it being the basement couch.
If you want to laugh when I
If you want to laugh when I was married to my exh, his crazy BM insisted on taking the dining room table that was in our dining room. I guess it was theirs when they were married. I loved this table and I didn't want to give it up. She ended up taking him to court over it and he gave in and gave it to her.
So a few weeks later we see her at SD's event and she makes a snide remark about how great the table looks in her dining room so I said to her "You might want to pour bleach on it because that's where we used to have sex every night, in fact I'm pretty sure thats where our baby was conceived" and her mouth dropped and she stormed away crying!!! Take that evil bitch!! }:)
I never heard another thing about the table!
I have to say, I am on the
I have to say, I am on the side of free furniture is good -
but it would be better to have it be wood, than fabric, that could have possibly been used for some other gross purpose-!!!
but I want one of those big sectionals myself, and they are expensive!! a lot of folks can fit on there, or me, dh and dawg!!
Why would accepting the couch
Why would accepting the couch make BM happy? I don't think she cares one way or the other. I think she only offered it so fdh couldn't say that she gave away the couch without offering it to him, especially since she knew he was moving. I don't care that she offered him the couch. I just want him to say thanks, but no thanks.
