Must be a woman thing ??? Shirley!

[Mozzy]

I'm always getting a bollocking for not taking enough interest in stuff. Like curtains, decor and a few hundred other things. It is clean, it is tidy, and the curtains are all fine, as is the crockery, (it all works), cutlery too is fine, again ... it all works; so am I the only one who finds the female interest in such things as boring as hell?

Oh I should have stayed single. 33 years later and I just realised that

Doh!!

Not necessarily a woman thing - bit stereotypical to think that. I've just had a mate who's just registered on a serious interior design course so clearly cushions and all that do matter to some blokes.

It might be the fact that you and your partner seem to prioritise different things. Maybe that's the issue here?

Ah Mozzy- still not quite forgiven yet for that one delayed response?

I think it's even worst when male 'friends' delight in showing you about their houses wowing you with the extent and sheer brilliance of their latest DIY projects .... I feel like buying them a bike and re-introducing them to real people ....

Yep still lingering .... sigh. Don't get me wrong, I like it clean and tidy, but if the stuff is good and works, why bother keep thinking about switching and changing just because?

As long as she still loves you and you'll know that she does, all the differences in your outlook matter not a bit!

Absolutely!

The secret is to look interested, but actually not listening at all.

The secret is just to agree, do the decorating however they want it, as long as you have your bikes

....even if she wants one wall painted deep plum and then decides a year later that she doesn't like it and wants it white again.....
