Help, my husband loves second-hand items

Mar 12, 2018

This saddens my heart that my house is turning into a dumping ground of what the Mzungu found obsolete.

I have so far been with my husband for five years. All is well except for his love for second-hand items. Our house is filled with second-hand appliances from radios, flat iron, and fridges to fan. The belief that second-hand products are stronger than first-hand has consumed him to the extent that he recently suggested that I buy second-hand plates, forks and cups.

This saddens my heart that my house is turning into a dumping ground of what the Mzungu found obsolete. To make matters worse, when one appliance breaks down, he goes back to the same source, arguing that he was not lucky with that particular item. I am fed up with this kind of thinking. Nothing seems new in my house.

How can I make my husband believe in new items?
