Hi

AIBU or is DH?

We have been talking about redecorating our bedroom for some time (2 years), and in recent weeks we have been talking about it more and more. He hates decorating and I enjoy it, so it's usually me that does it. In the past 2 weeks he has commented a few times about how he really hates the current wallpaper and wants us to redecorate soon.

Today he went out and I was struck with the energy/motivation to strip the paper. Thinking I'd do that, we'd have a blank canvas and could decide together how to re-do it.

He is now seriously pissed off at me. In a huff. One word answers. Says he hates living in a construction zone - it's hardly that, it's just plain walls underneath. He is annoyed that I've taken the paper off before we have decided in full what to replace it with.

I'm annoyed as I've put this effort in to do something rather than just talk about it, spent the whole day working hard with the end aim of us having a nice bedroom soon, and he is being so negative.

AIBU or is he?

Perhaps she has tried Minty - you know "Let's go to B&Q and pick some wallpaper"

Now you’re just making things up. But even if he did, I’m sure she’s capable of going herself.
