My sister sells rugs and my brother-in-law paints cars, there’s people like this out in the world, and no not consistently women.
Well, those are two totally different finishes. One is gloss or semi-gloss, and the other is matte.
semi-gloss
Oh my fucking god the word is “satin” are you fucking insane that’s it I’m staying at my mum’s tonight
Semi-gloss is shinier than satin and less shiny than gloss.
Isn’t it eggshell? 🤔
The bone, beige, ivory, cream, off-white…
Is that color named “Susan Collins”??
Too much jpeg. I think it’s Sherman Williams Sunny Cthulu
A professional painter told me once: I won’t start painting until your wife is okay with the color samples. Then he proceeded to paint 3 different color tones and brush patterns. She made the choice. When the painter was done, she still didn’t like it but didn’t dare tell him herself… Of course the whole shit was painted again in plain white a few years later.
I’ve been married a long time. The secret is that I never make any decisions. But even with that half the time I still get blamed when something fucks up
only half the time? You are married for less than 25 years!
LOL. Can’t tell you how many times I sat there shaking my head as yet again I am blamed for something that I explicitly said I don’t care about. And you decide because I have no opinion.
lol wife bad AMIRITE GUISE???
Who teach the boomers about lemmy?

She’s right. It fits the room way better.
I mean, the current paint is ugly. From a practical standpoint, it may be nice but people need a bit more confort at home than at work or in a classroom.
I would say to run, but you’re already married. I get myself out of painting by continuously - and I have to do it all the time because I also run a nonprofit where people are always insane about paint colors - I just say color isn’t my thing, I delegate color selection to one person (I’d suggest OPs wife) and I don’t get involved or help. If someone doesn’t like a color, they know who to talk to. And even if they want help I just remind them I don’t care about color and to ask someone who cares to help.
I actually do care, but I disagree with everyone around me so this is just a way of picking my battles. I have chosen not to care about color only because it saves me time and energy.
Big same. “Yeah I’m colorblind so you don’t really want my opinion on this” when they’re debating shades of purple, and they never have to know I just can’t see green on top of red.
Clearly a different color.
You are absolutely right. And another one with cold led light. Plus another one with direct sunlight. Plus two more when he holds the card horizontally 😆
I actually had a very similar situation. After painting the same wall three times in three different colours I told her to fuck off and painted it white.
You are a very patient person, i would refuse the first time. I’m sure she apreciates you and was thankful to be with someone who can bear with her, and did not get silent treatment.
The verbiage you need is … “I’m telling you right now that I don’t care. Whatever choice you make is fine with me. Can we agree that this choice is yours and if it fucks up I hold no blame. I will not blame you for your choice because as I said I don’t care.” This of course applies to both men and women.
Yeah but then you still have to paint it again because she doesn’t like it.
boomer humor noises
Hey man, Noone plans on their partner having a pathological obsession with the hundreds of shades and finishes of “white”
Be it paint or something else, prepare yourself to be completely confused and frustrated and decide its not worth arguing about because you love them. I wish I could help, but over the years I have never figured out what to say to help her make her decisions. Best to say little and listen a lot.
My wife didn’t like the color of the wall, so she sent me to get this color instead
Why is their wife unhappy with the color?
Why did she send her partner to get a different color?
Why did their wife send someone who cannot tell the difference? Why is that a laughing track?
This does not seem like it is about shade at all. It seems to be more about years of failed communication.
Or this is all fabricated and just a person making stuff up for laughing about shades of white they found in a paint shop.
wife bad.
Wait until she decided the difference btw to graphic card doesn’t matter for your next computer…
It doesn’t matter to you but it may be a very important matter to her.wrong again: paint bad 😜
