He And His Wife Do Not Share The Same Taste In Decorating Their House, And He’s Thinking This May End In Divorce
A 32-year-old man has been married to his wife Alina for the last 8 years, and she is a year younger than he is.
Lately, they’ve hit an enormous setback in their marriage, and it has to do with their taste in decorating their house.
Alina’s hobby is cross stitching, and he is fully supportive of this being something that she has a great time doing.
Alina has created so many things that they have decorated their house with, though 6 months ago Alina’s cross stitch collection spiraled out of control.
“She loves the art of cross stitch so much, that she’s started buying other people’s cross stitch projects,” he explained.
“Not professional ones, not curated pieces or specially ordered pieces, but cross stitch projects she’s finding at thrift stores and garage sales.”
“Still, she can do whatever she wants with her own money, even if it’s weird and I don’t get it. And I do. Not. Get. It. She’s buying everything she sees, good or not, pretty or not, framed or not, complete or not.”
He really didn’t realize how out of control Alina’s collection had grown…
…Until they moved into a brand new house and started taking their belongings out of the boxes.

Alina had a minimum of 5 enormous bins filled with all of the cross stitch pieces that she had purchased from all over the place.
She pulled everything out of the bins, and she hung them around their house using thumbtacks to stick them to the walls.
So, the walls of their brand new house are coated in ugly cross stitch pieces that just look as tacky as what Alina used to pin them up in the first place.
He suggested in the kindest way possible that perhaps they could take some pieces down off the walls and instead put them in picture frames and she was literally insulted by his request.
Alina then launched into a disagreement with him that lasted for hours.
She argued that she needs to house to have a particular feeling; a cottagecore theme, and it won’t work without everything hung up.
She won’t be happy unless she can keep hanging up cross stitch pieces on every single wall, and she also will not accept using anything to hang them up unless it’s a thumbtack or nail.
He really made an effort to get her to agree, at the very least to frame the pieces instead of creating tons of holes in the walls, but that doesn’t work with her vision.
“I tried keeping my cool and tried coming up with a dozen compromises but she’s not backing down,” he said.
“I’m at my wits end. I don’t want to live in our new house surrounded by random people’s cross stitch messes like half-finished horse heads and fireflies.”
He’s honestly thinking there’s no way for them to come to a conclusion and their marriage will only end in divorce because Alina’s ready to die on this cross stitch covered hill.
Do you think there is any way he can get her to compromise with him, even a little bit?
