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.
