Husband and I are buying our first house together (moving out of the house he bought). Houses are $$$ in our area, and our budget will be tight. My mom has what I think is a very nice set of dining room furniture - mid-century modern, all hardwood - in storage and has extended an open invitation to me to take it anytime. I told husband I'd like this set for our new house. He said okay but was visibly disappointed because, he said, it isn't "ours." When I tried to better understand his disappointment (whether he didn't like the set or was disappointed we didn't have the money to buy a new set entirely), he made me out to be the asshole because he said my trying to empathize felt like judgment. When I said I also liked the set because it was a connection to my mom and it kind of hurt my feelings that he didn't seem to care about the connection, he implied that somehow meant he wasn't allowed to have his feelings. AITA for asking about his POV and honestly expressing mine?
