Well, since I'm the one bringing more money into the household, bigger financial decisions like large furniture, repairs, etc have to get my approval.
But I let my girlfriend chose most of the furniture in our apartment, most of the rugs, all of the curtains, decorative plants and other decorative stuff. Cutlery, pillows, blankets, paintings - all her choice with minimal guidance from me.
One thing I absolutely will not let my girlfriend/ future wife influence is my choice and number of cars. Every car I've bought, I've bought it with my own saved money, without hurting our budget for life (Rent, bills, taxes, monthly expenses).
Cars are my passion and my hobby and I'm free to spend my own money on it.
Sometimes I go out when I don't really want to, because I'm in a relationship. If I wasn't in a ship, I would hardly leave the house.
Same but I don't mind. It's not that uncommon in my experience, there are quite a lot of people who don't go outside much on their own unless they have a dog.
Is that the extent of it? I mean other things like "he hates the smell of coffee, so I'm not going to drink as much as I normally would..."
Now if it was that he hates the smell of coffee or other little things like not likeing the smell of bananas or something. Dont not drink coffee or whatever just because he dont like the smell. He needs to get used to it. Expecialy if you guys plan to be a long term/forever thing
At this point, he doesn't really have a say in the things I do unless I ask for it and vice versa.
We're our own people, but I think we largely make decisions based off of what we know the other's opinions would be.
Not gonna rush to discuss every little decision, but we discuss the big things. Particularly if they effect the other.
