Nah, that’s just straight up stupid. Its a shared home and you do not just straight up throw away things without informing the other. Im married and its common sense to ask first.

Wife tells husband, "That piece of furniture is ugly, I'm going to toss it and get a new one." Husband replies "Yeah, just don't do it yet, I need to clean it out." Two weeks later: "You cleaned that thing out yet?" "Not yet, I'm still working on other stuff." Three weeks later: "Clean that thing out because I'm going to toss it next week." "Yeah yeah I'll do it." Four weeks later: "YOU DID WHAT??!!?!?!?!"

Still not a reason. In this scenario i would force them to clean it out the day i would need to toss it. Gave them enough time

Had this happen to me (though on a lesser scale). Got a deadline, agreed to the deadline, missed the deadline. Real world hurts sometimes.

I think you missed the whole "without telling your spouse" qualifier. You gave an example scenario where the fault lies entirely in the husband's laziness since the wife DID bring it up to the husband, multiple times even.
