There was a hideous couch in the house where I grew up.
What bothered you about the couch?
I hated the design on it. My dad loved it though.
It's unpleasant to live in a house with furniture that we don't like, but when that furniture belongs to someone that we live with we should leave the issue alone. It is just a couch and if your father liked it, you should leave it. It is no harm to you.
I wish I had gotten rid of it when I had the chance.
It is good that you did not get rid of it. Leaving the couch is the right thing to do, it meant a lot to your father and it is not a big deal.
