[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NOBODY buys a $16,000 chair.  :roll:

Tomorrow I will be ordering a beautiful quilt, with shams, curtains, a lamp and a nightstand. The sheets, pillows and blankets are bought, the new mattress comes this week. I picked everything out all by my little self.

My husband will see it all put together when I'm done decorating.  Since he paid for everything he did actually see what I bought/ordered/will order but had no desire to help me do my thing.

I can't imagine fighting over a rug, garbage can, drapes ... [b]You ladies must be spending too much money.[/b] Your husbands probably have to reign in your out of control spending. Either that or he has those gay decorating tendencies. Normal men really don't care about that stuff.  [/quote]

OP here.  This lady outearns her H and always has, and I am not the one who wanted the $16,000 chair.  [b]He also made me return sheets [/b]I found at Bed, Bath and Beyond on sale for the guest room.  They were on sale, so I got two sets plus comforter, shams, etc. for about $225.  The sheets he insisted we buy instead started at $74 for a single pillow case.

I'll leave the gay decorator tendency comment alone because I can't respond properly.  I would simply note that, of the two stereotypes evident in your post, it is the bigger one. [/quote]

What, did DH hold you up at gun point and force you to return sheets? I don't understand your mindset. Why do you allow DH to control you like this? Why do you seem to want to return to him? Is this the dynamic that you want your children to believe is healthy--that the man dominates and the woman kowtows to him every whim?[/quote]
