He's being a typical guy. The way to handle it is to suggest some things that you don't like, wait for him to pick what he does like then go to what you like and say "Honey, you have great taste, I really like this one" He won't even remember not saying that he liked that one. Reverse it on him, it usually works!  |

I don't think that you are being childish. I don't think it would hurt for him to let you pick something out! Both of you live there. I think both of you should be able to decorate. Kel  |

I think he is being childish...try going and picking out what you like and having him go pick out what he likes seperately and I bet you could come up with at least one you both pick that way you would not have to get upset and he would not be able to turn down everything you pick automatically  |

No, you're probably seeing something that is really taking place. I guess if I were you, I wouldn't settle for what he wants... I'd try other options altogether insead. For instance, if you can't agree on a wallpaper, try to agree on a paint, there's a lot more colors to choose from. If he refuses to agree with you on anything at all.... don't give in. No offense guys... but the inside of the house is supposed to be for the woman to decorate and the guys get the landscaping! ;)  |

I think You Choose has got it right! The way I see it, I am the one who always did the housework ... so I think the interior should be something I can live with . Look at it this way...If he was to go buy a John Deere tractor ( which are always painted an ugly green and you asked him to paint it purple ... (to go with your indoor color scheme, of course ,) would he do that ? Of course not... so get what you like and don't worry about it! lol.  |

I'm glad I'm not alone in this assumption. Thanks for your support everyone! We've narrowed the wallpaper down to our 3 favourites. We both have a different first, but my second favourite is the same as his first and our third favourite is the same! At least we agree on the colour which we're painting the paper! LOL  |
