You be the judge: my parents want to donate their old furniture to us – should my partner accept it?

After living at home for most of my life, I’m moving in with my girlfriend Edith soon. As a 30-year-old man, I’m really excited about the prospect of having our own flat.

Yes it’s true, I don’t love the furniture that I’ve spent my whole life looking at. I also want to develop my own style and let Edith have free rein over our home. But I also think it’s easier to kit out the place with stuff that’s ready, instead of spending weeks ordering things and trying to make it all fit together. Not to mention the money – we’re on a tight budget as it is.My dad says we’ll save money and should be grateful to be offered so much quality stuff.

Eddie doesn’t see the problem with taking all his parents’ old furniture but I think it’s weird. I don’t want to sleep in his parents’ old bed in our new flat. It’s our place, and I want it to feel like our place. Yes, it’s all in good condition but that’s irrelevant, as it’s just not my style. I also believe in energies and I don’t think it’s a good idea to bring bits of the past into our new start. I don’t know what energies are attached to Eddie’s family furniture, and I don’t really want to find out.
