Ok, so I know this is a very small issue in the grand scheme of things but how do you cope if you have a very different style taste than your DH? Mine is really old-fashioned and thinks I just follow style and fashion so we can't get anywhere in improving our house. We recently redecorated, and we have hardwood floors and a very large living room, so I want an area rug to define the seating area and make the room cosy and feel warm. DH says we can only have a small rug and he doesn't want the feet of the furniture on the rug and he doesn't care if that is not how a living room should be styled. It has really upset me because we can't now agree and so we have no rug, and the room feels cold and uninviting. I appreciate this is not exactly the end of the world and my DH is a lovely person. But I feel so upset as I can't have the dream living space that I wanted, and that's all I now see when I go into the living room. I do realise though that if I get what I want DH doesn't get what he wants. Am I being unreasonable to feel upset?
