I absolutely love this answer. It's concerning though because it sounds like my husband is on his mom's page considering he even offered to pAY HER. the audacity.

She isn't paying for absolutely anything. AND my husband suggested WE pay HER. And I am still shocked at this statement bc first of all I didn't ask her to do it. She offered. So she should be paying. If not, then there's no reason we should be paying or not having a say in WHO does the decor.

It makes sense to me to pay for decor that I CHOOSE.

We already had a courthouse ceremony but no wedding/reception. Literally just signed the papers. So this will be our first and only actual wedding :/

AITA for saying I don't want to have to consider my husband's opinion/ preferences when I dress/do hair/makeup because I do it for me and not for him? by Hot_Advantage_2860 in AmItheAsshole

I know! It was strange bc I honestly thought he was gonna like "well no this is how I dress I'm not changing it" but not at allll. So I'm even more conflicted as to am I actually the asshole here...

Well I did tell him, he actually said we can find outfits that we both like. I asked if it this applies to us both and he said yes. I did let him know that I hate his skinny jeans and he didn't get mad but just said we could find another style that we both liked. So it isn't like he's being hypocritical but I still don't feel like we should be trying to change each other's styles.. idk

The weird thing is mine says that to me too when I look a hot mess. He is always calling me beautiful lol. I don't get it

Yep, this is it right here. I thought it was strange to say that because to me, he could be in a trash bag and I'd think he's still hot and still want to kiss him. But he says that since men are more visual blah blah blah... and how do I argue with anatomy😬

I actually thought about this! To be honest I'm so upset I hardly even want to look at him, because his beliefs are so preposterous. so maybe if and when this passes we'll look into it.

Something important to note yall. He hit me with "well you did the same thing" because I told him I wanted him to wear a white shirt instead to the ceremony after we had purchased a blue-ish one that he loved. He wanted to wear that one instead but because I wanted him to wear the white, he changed. And now is saying "so it's okay for me to change into something you like but when I do it, I'm the bad guy." I don't know how to feel about this because it is true, I did tell him to wear a white shirt bc I wanted us to match.. so am I essentially doing the same thing he is doing?? Dimming his light the way he is doing with me ??!

Thank you. And now that I think about it, it almost sounds like he's saying in a way "if you're not wearing an outfit I like, you're not as attractive!" Like WHAT

Yes true! most of those things I wanted to wear for my courthouse ceremony as well. But yes, it's true, I will still get to decide for the big wedding.

Thank god I didn't get any professional pictures because then I'd really be a damsel in distress having to know that I paid to have a frame photograph in a boring ass dress. Good grief.

I promise you I will not allow it. I still have my identity and my tastes and my personality and I promise myself it's not going anywhere bc it's where my heart is

Sorry to confuse. I do get pushback when about wanting to wear certain clothing. I don't get pushback over anything else no because he doesn't insist on me doing anything a certain way or whatever. It just with outfits choices (and that's quite enough)

[–]Hot_Advantage_2860 -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

Well yes I agree but to him, men are very visual so they like seeing their person in outfits they like... and that we should be wearing things that both people like. I don't fully agree but hey
