If so, his opinion is really as important as yours, and, in that case, being the appreciative type of person that I am when nice things are done for me, I would probably just live with it and let him be happy. He'd have the fun of showing the window treatments off to family and friends and glow with the pride of being able to spend the money for such a major surprise for you. He'd feel so good about himself that it would make life in your home happier!
If my significant other spent a small fortune for a fancy window to surprise me and it turns out that I don't like the style that he chose, I will not let it show. Call it a white lie, but I really appreciate his effort to please me and that is what matters most to me. My preferences can take a back seat this time because I value more our relationship.
And it is the thought that counts. I think I can bear with that fancy window for a year or so and replace it easily with the one I like and avoid hurting my significant other.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
