"  DEAR E. JEAN : I&amp;#039;ve lived with this guy for two years. He seems to have long-term potential, but despite our possessing significant funds, he refuses to buy\u2014or allow me to buy\u2014furniture, paint, fabric, etc., to improve our home beyond its current dorm-room design. He&amp;#039;s in Europe working right now. Should I leave? Or wait for him to see the light?\u2014Tired of the Beer-Spattered Sofa TIRED, SWEETIE : Yes, show him the new light...and the new chair, the new sofa, and the new wall color. You do not need the tightwad&amp;#039;s permission to spend your own money on your own home! Gawd! He sounds like a twit. Related: Ask E.
