Light hearted AIBU.
if you are in a long term relationship and something in your home needs replacing does the person who uses the item get to choose it or should it be a joint decision??
I'm not talking about joint use I am in this case specifically talking about saucepans when one of the couple hasn't cooked anything bar freezer crap into the air fryer in the entire 20 year relationship??
I want to get a tefal ingenio set my OH wants me to buy stainless Steel that can be scrubbed. I cook everything he washes up say 50% of the time.
I say it's like me weighing in on which tool set to buy and getting arsey when my view isn't considered. My OH tends to be a bit opinionated and I'm standing up for myself more and more rather than giving in for an easy life. So I'm curious in other relationships do you give in when it really makes no odds to the other person or stand up for what you want???

We make decisions together. Agree with PP this sounds like tip of the iceberg.
