I'm suppose to be selling my car and buying a new one. I will pay for it and drive it...my partner has his own car...but he wants me to get a car that he prefers, we live together and he has totally ignored me all day. It's very upsetting

I'm dealing with the same crap. My spouse ignores me when things don't go his way. I know how frustrating it could be. You need to get the car you desire and screw him!!!

He is giving you the silent treatment. By doing this he is hoping to get a reaction out of you, in hopes that you will come around into his way of thinking. He is also ignoring you to try and make you feel guilty. He also might be a little jealous because you can get yourself a newer car. I find men can be fickle that way. Even though it is upsetting, don't let him get the best of you. I know it is easier said then done. I learnt the hard way. I gave in once and when we split up I was left holding the bag. I am not saying you guys will split up...I am just saying that if you give in to him you may regret it down the road. For instance, if you buy the car he wants, you may end up having alot more problems then you anticipated and end up blaming him, because you bought the car he wanted. He'll eventually come around if you can hold out. If you can't hold out talk to him and try compromising with him in getting a car you both like. Just remember, it is your car and your money that you've put into it...so don't let him make you feel guilty or bad about it. Good luck!

Your partner is selfish.
If it's YOUR CAR and YOU will be driving it then HE shouldn't be deciding what YOU are going to ride around in. Who the hell does he think he is, honestly? He has his own car which I am sure he was able to choose for himself. If he wants to ignore you then ignore him right back when he decides to talk to you again.
Then, the two of you need to sit down and talk about your relationship and the fact that he cannot make all of YOUR decisions for you and that a relationship is based on compromising and talking things out rather then acting childish and ignoring.

Sounds like he has some emotional maturity problems. Or maybe ignoring you is simply the way he deals with anger or gets back at you.
I'm jumping to conclusions based on my own experiences, but this may be a sign you need to take a long, hard look at this relationship and think about whether it's something you want to stay with the rest of your life.

Control freak? This is why I do not talk about cars with my friends. At the minute they ask me what kind of car I'd like to have, and I tell them, they start mumbling about it. But I will not satisfy them. I'm the one paying for it, not them. They like it or not, it is not up to them.
You buy the car that you want. You're paying for it. Not your partner. If he wants you to have a specific car, let him pay for it, in full...otherwise tell him to backoff.

Taking what you've written at face value; tell him to grow up.
Your money, your car. By all means get his advice if he knows about cars but it's your call in the end.

at the end of the day giving someone the silent treatment is very childish.....its obviously his way of trying to emotional blackmail you.....speak to him and let him know why you really want the car you want....unless he has safety issues with it and thats why he wants you to buy a car he would prefer....explain that it is your money your choice....

He's just a child, maybe the car he wants you to get is better than his and he is jealous, just ignore him it will pass.

you're partner is a spoilt brat. smack him repeatedly around the head, he will soon stop ignoring you. or get the car that he wants but in candy pink.
