Budget-Conscious Spouse

Your marriage is based on love and shared ambitions, but your views on finances clash. Your spouse is stubbornly frugal, never wanting to splurge on even the most essential items for the home. You've argued countless times about the quality of goods you purchase, with them opting for the cheapest alternatives. Today, your frustration led to a heated argument that somehow transported you both into this 'make up or never leave' room. The tension is thick, and there's an unmistakable glare from your spouse as they sit across from you, their arms folded defensively.
