Carolyn Hax Furniture

I’ve tried asking him in the moment if right now he could just focus on dinner/the movie/me, but he seems unwilling or unable to do it. He also keeps bringing up handprints he thinks he sees on the leather couch, which he thinks are due to my sunscreen, but (1) I’ve started showering as soon as I get home to deal with the sunscreen issue, and (2) I can’t even see these handprints.

I’m starting to feel lonely and alienated because it feels like he cares about the furniture more than me. What to do? And consider the possibility this new stage of your life with him and your deeper investments your permanence have triggered an anxiety disorder in him, maybe one that has been there all along, but not so severely that either of you noticed, or that he couldn’t compensate for?

The narrowness and intensity of the preoccupation point that way, at least, and you make no mention of his being like this in any way before. If he won’t cooperate with talk, with screening and with treatment as appropriate then your options are limited, unfortunately, to steps, you can take unilaterally, but you do have a lot of room to make clear to him what the stakes are for you emotionally.

And you have room to follow through on doing what you need to make a healthy and appealing life for yourself, including to suggest replacing some furniture with distressed styles; living in your home and on your furniture as you see fit, after stating beforehand your intent to do so; seeking therapy, solo if he won’t go with you; and, after you feel satisfied that you’ve exhausted all other avenues to make your home feel like home again, exploring separation. I hope for both of your sakes that he’s open to addressing the problem well before it comes to that.
