[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this like, an old people thing? DH and I enjoy all of our house together. And we share hobbies (we both play video games and enjoy sports, gardening, cooking, and working out). [/quote]

I'm with you. All of our decorating, or lack thereof really, was decided on together as well. I don't think it's as much of an old people thing as a sexist people thing. People who think only women can or should be involved in home decor, and that the man needs his own defined space because the home is the woman's domain by default. Also that the man needs to get away from his family and do man things, but the woman doesn't need that because woman things -- such as cooking, cleaning, and caring for children -- are done throughout the house. So in a way, it's a step forward to say that men and women should both have a cave. In another way, it's just more separation and stereotyping by gender. I'm all for each member of a couple having his or her own room, but I don't see the need for cutesy names and sex stereotypes to be involved.[/quote]
