Today, after getting back from my interior design class, I told my husband that I learned the golden rule for home decor: "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." He looked at me dead in the eyes, and didn't say a word. FML

Maybe he just looked at you like that because he couldn't grasp the concept of what you were saying. Like he was confused and what you said made no sense.

Holy crap on a cracker! How many people willing buy ugly, useless things for their homes.

You'd be surprised #25. Some people will buy anything if its on sale, whether they need or like it or not. Or then there's the type that buys impulsively without considering how it will fit with the rest of the decor.

Maybe he thinks you buy a lot of useless crap and doesn't think you're abiding by those rules.

So he.... looked at you? I really don't see a problem here.

where is the FML in this? Sounds like he was waiting for you to continue, or expecting you to suggest throwing out his favorite chair, or something. Until reading the comments, it never even occurred to me that he was subtly hinting that OP was ugly and useless.

I mean based off of this fml, I get the impression that he doesn't think anything in your house is beautiful, not you

Well you should always look beautiful so your hubby has nobody but you to look at

A married relationship should be about more than that.

You should of responded with "so I have no idea what you're doing in the house right now."

Maybe he thought you were hinting about throwing away some of his personal items but that your things were okay to keep?

In my experience that's how it works. Redecorating/removing clutter involves my possessions being discarded, generally without my input. Our possessions being unvalued by our spouses seems to be a common concern among men.

I know what you mean. I try not to be that person. I decorated our house but compromised with my BF by giving him the spare bedroom and garage to do whatever he pleases. We have opposite taste. His collection of things like "Spawn" action figures clashed with my Japanese theme. Incorporating his "Highlander" sword collection was doable.

I never understood why women throw their husband's things away. Any time we have to get rid of stuff, I get rid of my old stuff first and then tell him to pick and choose what he can part with.
