She knows that my current apartment is temporary, until we decide together where we should live. We are even considering the summer home in Maine. Elena, if you read above, you will understand why I have not bought new furniture.

The bedroom is for sleeping, nothing else. That is why I only need a small single bed. When you visited with our family last November, you knew this. Please do not allow your words to sound as though you know my boring apartment, and especially the bedroom, because you spent any time there. At my mother's house, we treated you as an honored guest and nothing else. You said it was the best vacation you ever had. That is all.
