After a lifetime of working you’d think you’d be entitled to something as minor as a pool table.

Depends on the context. If that guy lives with other people, imagine wanting to buying a massive thing that occupies a ton of space and stating that as a need over inconveniencing everyone else who lives there, and then barely touching it more than once every few months after the first few weeks of buying it. This is what happened to a friend of mine but replace pool table with a beater car (they already have 2 cars).

After a lifetime of unpaid labor you'd think some spouses are entitled to something as minor as having some input on major purchases when money is tight.

Sounds like he needs better roommates with a knack for billiards

That's this wife, not just a roommate.

Someone who marries someone that irresponsible is also irresponsible. Those behaviors don't come out of nowhere unless its truly just a one time thing.
