As a single guy, I can fully admit my place isn’t the best decorated.

I try, I really do, but I just don’t have much of an eye for it – and besides, I don’t have a ton of extra cash to splash around on stuff that is – by definition – unnecessary.

But some guys feel differently.

Not this one, though.

Check out the details.

AITA for expecting to have a say in how to decorate the apartment?

My girlfriend and I have been living together for nearly three years, and we recently moved into a bigger apartment.

Our last place was small and fully furnished, so there wasn’t much room to make it feel like ours and feel homely with our own stuff or decor.

They’re movin’ on up!

Now that we’re in a bigger place, you can actually decorate it to suit your style.

My girlfriend’s already picked up some prints, plants, and little bits and pieces for the living room, bedroom, and spare room.

We recently put up some shelves in the spare room too, and I was telling her I’d been looking at a few prints and other things to put on them.

But she mentioned she already had something in mind for that space and suggested I should get shelves in my home office instead for any prints I wanted sicne they wouldn’t go with what she had chosen.

Now he’s feeling left out.

I told her that it doesn’t seem fair that she gets to decorate pretty much all the shared rooms how she likes, while the only space I get to put my own style into is my office.

I mentioned that almost everything in the shared rooms right now is stuff she chose, so it would be nice if I could pick a few things for those spaces too.

She said it’s better if I just stick to my office, and when I asked her why that was fair, she brushed it off, saying it’s no big deal and I shouldn’t be bothered by it.

How far do we take this?

But I am bothered by it, because it feels like she sees the apartment as her space to decorate instead of a shared home.

I said I should have some say in how the place looks, not just her, but she kept insisting I should just stick with decorating my office and drop it

Let’s see what the comments say:

It’s only the start:

She clearly doesn’t understand that this actually matters to him…right?

It’s just a grown up thing to do.

This kind of thing has happened before.

Here’s hoping they can make a happy home.

It’s not looking good, though.
