Hi guys Im getting married in about a month and right now im in the
midst of filling my house with all kinds of things, and all of a
sudden my wife(to be) said "NO! we cant have that bed, because it is
made of chipboard(particle board), and that wil break fast".

Then she continued to complain about all the furnitures I had spent
valuable time and money on. I my self dont see any fault in these kind
of products, but on the other hand I'm note the kind that fix things,
I only make them and then if they break I throw them away.

My question here is how long is the longevity of furniture made out of
chipboard ?
and is there any other good cheap alternatives ?

Sure, real furniture. It costs, though.

i guess it depends on how rough she plans you to be in bed..... I've never
seen particle board furniture break under normal usage.

You have learned two very important lessons.

1. The compromise-quotient of your wife to be.

2. That you should let the wife make the minor decisions: what kind of
furniture to have, when you should ask for a raise, where to live, how many
kids to have, and the like. You, meanwhile, decide the major issues: Should
Red China be admitted to the United Nations, whether there's life on Mars,
is there a god, etc.

First lesson in marriage is that you can't have what you want. Decide
first on a budget and
stick to it. Then, decide where to put quality. For quality or more
expensive items, focus on
those which will have most use and/or are focal in the home. (Nobody
sees the bedroom and
it doesn't matter what you're sleeping on )

Chipboard will last if treated right - hard to find a computer desk or
book case that isn't c.b.

You can schlep around to Goodwill and garage sales or auctions and,
perhaps, find stuff
that is cheap and functional. A lot of ugly stuff can be painted and
made useful. Depending
where you live, you might find an old table for 50 or 100 that is much
better quality than
fakeboard for the same price. Also buy a homeowner's DIY book so's you
can both learn
how to do stuff economically.

Best of luck.

If you can't work this out how are you gonna work out the hundreds of
non-trivial stuff to come? Seriously!

Accept her as-is. She will not change to your way later.
The only person you can chage is yourself.

If those two things are unacceptable to you, maybe you should pass on
this one.

Let me understand this! The future bride spends much of her life
finding the perfect man to marry. And now she wants to change you?!!
What is the world coming to?

Put the bed made of chipboard in the third bedroom ("dog house"). Let
us know later, how long it last.

Get out your wallet!

A man thinks the woman he marries will never change; she will. A woman
thinks she can change the man she marries; she can't.

There are exceptions. To the common female complaint: "Why are all the good
men married?", the answer is simple: it's marriage that makes them good!

Particle board is cheap stuff but also the glue that outgasses has
Formaldehyde in it and I would not want something so close to me all
night that could make me sick.

Bah! Man-up, dude.

They put formaldehyde in Vietnamese BEER and it didn't bother anybody!

No, wait...

And the sooner you learn the "MMM" (Married Man Motto) the better off you
will be: A HAPPY WIFE IS A HAPPY LIFE!

And this Happy Wife would not appreciate being left out of the
furniture buying process. Talk about asking for trouble, furnishing
the place without her input? It's just common sense, if my intended
went ahead and furnished the place with crappy chipboard, I'd
be annoyed, but even if it was the finest hardword, if it's ugly, same
thing. She's got to like it too.
