As an unmarried man, I have to honestly say my living space isn’t the most well-decorated.

I make an effort, truly I do, but aesthetics aren’t exactly my strong suit – plus, I’m not one to spend a lot of money on things that, by their nature, are superfluous.

However, some men have different feelings on this matter.

Not this one, though.

Check out the details.

Am I wrong for wanting input on the decoration of our shared apartment?

My partner and I have shared our lives for almost three years now, and we’ve just relocated to a larger flat.

The previous location we had was compact and completely equipped, leaving little space for us to personalize it with our belongings or add decorative touches to make it feel more like home.

They’re movin’ on up!

Since we’ve moved to a larger space, you can really personalize it according to your taste.

My girlfriend has already grabbed some prints, plants, and small items for the living room, bedroom, and guest room.

We just installed some shelves in the spare room as well, and I mentioned to her that I’ve been searching for various prints and decorative items to place on them.

However, she stated that she already had ideas for that area and recommended I install shelves in my home office instead, as her selections didn’t match what I was considering.

Now he feels excluded.

I mentioned to her that it isn’t seems fair that she can basically personalize all the common areas however she wants, whereas the sole place where I can express my personal style is my home office.

I noted that nearly all the items in the common areas at present were selected by her, so it would be great if I could also choose some pieces for these spaces as well.

She mentioned it would be wiser for me to focus on my office work, and when I questioned whether this was fair, she dismissed it, claiming it wasn’t a significant issue and that I shouldn’t worry about it.

To what extent should we go with this?

However, I’m troubled by this situation since it seems to me that she views the apartment as her personal domain for decoration rather than a communal living space.

I mentioned that I ought to have some input into how the space looks, not solely her. However, she persisted in saying that I should focus only on designing my office and leave it at that.

Let’s check out what the comments mention:

It’s only the start:

It’s obvious she doesn’t realize how important this is to him… right?

It’s simply an adult activity.

This type of situation has occurred previously.

Here’s to wishing them a joyful homemaker.

It doesn’t look promising, however.
