Some couples would hunt for a reason to fight with each other!

This guy shares how him and his fiancée broke into a fight over pillows!

Check out the full story!

AITAH My (44M) fiancée (43F) filled our house with pink pillows despite knowing I hate the color, and now says my opinion no longer matters?

I’m (44M) a pretty simple guy. I don’t try to make my bedroom this grandiose thing. My style choice is making the bed so it looks nice and simple, with no extra fluff or decorative pillows.

You wouldn’t expect where this is going…

When my fiancée (43F) and I moved in together, she started putting some blue decorative pillows on the bed. I have to admit, it wasn’t bad. She asked me how I felt about it, and I told her honestly that I actually liked the changes.

She then asked, “What about pink pillows?”

I simply stated no. There are really only two colors I don’t like as decor: pink and yellow. Pink because I’ve just never been a fan of that shade, and yellow because it triggers a very bad childhood memory for me.

This conversation happened 3 years ago, and over the years she would occasionally make comments about it, so I know she never forgot my stance.

UH OH…

The Issue A few weeks ago, she bought a bunch of pink pillows for the bedroom and the living room. It bothered me to no end. I figured I’d try to just get used to it, so I decided not to bring it up.

Lately, I haven’t really been hanging out in the living room or the bedroom like I used to.

Instead, I’ve been retreating to the only room in the house that isn’t completely turning pink: the garage, which we semi-converted into a second living room. (It still has 2 pink pillows, but that beats the 6 in the main living room and the 4 in the bedroom).

The Confrontation For some necessary context: We’ve been getting into fights almost every weekend lately. I will say or do something stupid, and she will go off on me, saying things like, “You don’t let me be a person.”

That’s INSANE!

Because of this, I’ve been trying really, really hard to hold my tongue when I have issues with her and just be supportive.

Yesterday, she noticed my withdrawal to the garage and explicitly asked for my opinion on the new decor. Because she asked directly, I didn’t feel like lying. I told her the truth: I absolutely hate the pink in the living room and the bedroom.

She went off on me again, repeating that I am “not letting her be a person,” and explicitly told me that she has decided my opinion no longer matters.

He’s confused about the whole situation.

I tried to keep the peace and just avoid the rooms, but when asked directly, I answered honestly. How should I handle this?

OUCH! That’s a messy situation.

Why can’t the find a middle ground that works for both of them?
