DH has painted one wall of our bedroom bright fucking yellow. This is grounds for divorce right?

[Wonc]

I hate feature walls.
It hurts my eyes.
I like white.
And grey. Grey is nice.

AIBU?

Ah shucks wonc.

Don't get me wrong, I love colour and hardly ever wear black. But in your home and especially your bedroom you don't want to be whacked in the face by colour. It's not exactly restful or calming, is it?

He has agreed to repaint it. But it can't come soon enough.

I am sleeping on the nice, cream couch tonight. Partly due to fumes, but mostly because I don't want to wake up and look at that monstrous wall.

Oooh that's not good at all, and I like colour I second painting something offensive on it...it can't be any more offensive than that colour!

enormouse- that is a brilliant outfit! Reminds me of a yellow Power Ranger that my son used to have!

When we bought our house the living room was painted that colour, with red glosswork. It was awful.

Tell your DH that he's chosen the exact shade of breastfed baby poo.

It's amazingly horrible, he needs to have it painted over by the end of tomorrow.

He may be able to cover up his terrible mistake, OP, but will your relationship ever be the same again now he has shown his true colours?

Won't it colour your opinion of him for ever?

I could go on.....

You might be able to save your relationship if you go to couples counselling.
Good luck OP

This incident paints him in a terrible light.

I don't know BetterCallSaul, I just don't know...

I realise a certain amount of give and take is necessary in a relationship, but I am now beginning to question his judgement.. For example, I just bought a new car but couldn't decide on the colour. He assured me red was best, despite my misgivings. I didn't think I was a red-car-type-of-person. Was I wrong to believe him?
By painting our wall in an early 90s album cover shade, he now has me doubting everything.

And I'm still pissed off about my bedspread.

better

Sorry, I couldn't resist

Ha ha ha. I luff you guys. I do.

Thank you for making me smile when all I want to do is cry - and draw rude things on my bedroom wall like iK8 suggested.

DD has announced she likes it the traitor.

Wish the new mobile site had an edit feature.

That should be the traitor.

That was lovely, enormous -I've just listened! (As I mentioned, there are some "Yellow"s I definitely like!) Unfortunately, I am also old enough to remember (just!) "Mellow Yellow" by Donovan!

Does he work in road maintenance? It looks very much like highway yellow to me.
I have a section of one wall in my office/company reception painted in that exact same colour as it part of the company branding. Yes I do work in the highway maintenance sector!

I live in a bright yellow house.

It is hideous and he is still U. So very U.

DD loves that song, Bettercallsaul, and she's 15!

DH painted our conservatory bright yellow (all wall, and ceiling). DD said it was like being in a barrel of wee

I could understand why he could reasonably have thought four stark white walls would be pretty awful.

What I can't understand is how, having seen the first brushstroke of that shade of yellow, he didn't realise how horrible it was and how it would only get worse with every subsequent stroke.

Maybe he's fed up with whites and greys and wants a bit of colour in his life

Decorate yourself. My OH has never lifted a paintbrush- can't be trusted, we would end up with gloss paint footprints throughout the house.

She who paints gets to choose the colour in our house. I'm with your OH, OP.

Ah, but Wonc - did he say when?

I'd definitely go and draw on it, it's quite catharic!

It's the same here.. I do all of the decorating so I choose.

Surely you could compromise and give him a room in the house he can do what he wants with. I couldn't live with white and greys.
