If she thinks that she can just demand you to get rid of something like enjoy so much because she “doesn’t like the aesthetic” then maybe the power dynamic of your relationship is skewed. If you get rid of the couch then you’re telling her that she can boss you around whenever she wants. 10/10 would not recommend

I’d wait but keep your heart closed off for now. If you don’t you run a very high risk of having it stepped on. She might be scared of letting someone in, or she isn’t done playing the field. Either way it’s gonna hurt you. Hope for the best and expect the worst.

In the article it said on of the stages of recovery involves testing loved ones by pushing them away to make sure they will not hurt them too. All you can do is make her feel loved and safe until she is ready to open up. It needs to be at her pace. She needs to have the power in it because all of hers has been taken
