RIDICULOUS!! (vent alert)

ok this is driving me crazy here goes.. we live in a small little apartment. 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, living room, dining area, patio, kitchen and a 1 car detached garage.  since we moved in here in march we put all the unneccesarry items in the garage and theve been slowly making their way into the apartment.  all of a sudden FI wants his weight lifting becnh up here. this thing is huge and we have literally no space for it whatsoever.

like this only uglier.

ok fine so he wants it in the house. 1. he NEVER uses it. 2. i said put it on the patio that would be perfect, its definitly big enough and we hardly ever go out there anyway. nope he's throwing a fit, wants it in the house. when i ask why all he says is "personal prefference". and he's suggesting that we get rid of the dining room table to make room for the bench. what the heck... so now im trying to rearrange out bedroom furniture so make room for this stupid thing but i seriously dont think it will fit in a way that we're not tripping over it all the time. im trying to come up with some sort of compromise, or some way to make it happen but if theres no space theres no space. ahh!

im racking my brain trying to think of another solution.... but im at a loss.

    I would ask him how many days a week he plans on using it.  Let say he says 4.  If he doesn't use it consistenly like he said, then you guys should move it.  Its a HOME not a bachelor pad.  Plus if its just a bench press machine, you really can't do anything other than bench press on it and usually guys work their chest once or twice a week.  I wonder why he doesn't want to use the free gym at your complex?

    Oh hell no! THAT would not be going in my living room. Especially since there is a fitness center!!! I agree with Sara...it is a home not a bachelor pad. He needs to take your feelings into consideration.

    I totally wouldn't have a problem with it on the patio. I would say patio or nothing! lol.

    ok update. i said patio or nothing. and he chose nothing. which affirms the fact that he's not that serious about it and theres no reason for it be in our living room or dining or bedroom. ahh i feel so much better knowing im not the crazy one here.
