By the end of day 2 I had popped off one to many times about how I fully understand that my opinion on decor, while asked for, is not really relevant, needed or considered in the final decision. I think the straw that broke the camels back may have been when I dozed off in some electronically controlled chair while she looked at the same dining room table for the 9th. time. Not one of my best moments.
I've already ridden once this morning, I'll most likely get in another short ride early this afternoon just so I can stay out of the way. It's going to take a day or two for the furniture issue to be brought up again, so it's probably best to just let her figure out on her own, which one of the 86 dining room sets she touched multiple times, is the one she wants.
I made it to year 43, just 9 days ago, by following 1 very important guideline.....her money is hers and my money is hers. Guess that's why she said I could spend 9G on a bike if I wanted too. Settled for 4.
