The Extra Bedroom Dilemma
We have a spare bedroom in the house, and my husband wants to turn it into a custom-built home media room. He spends hours researching, poring over home theater forums, and scouring the internet for the best home theater installation deals and packages. I'm all for having our own home theater – as I enjoy having movie nights with my family in the comfort of my own house as well. However, my husband did mention before that we were going to turn that room into a craft/guest room.
I'm a stay-at-home mom, but I make handmade arts and crafts and sell them online, so he knows that having my own space in the house where I can work is important to me. Though his income is sufficient enough to financially support us, and I just do crafting as more of a hobby, I have had a decent profit from it. My husband has been extremely supportive of my craft/business. However, I see that he is tremendously excited to build the home theater. He is always talking about how he can't wait to kick back and relax in it and watch his favorite sports and movies and play his video games. He completely forgot that he told me we were turning that room into my craft room. I know I should just express my thoughts to him, but I know he’d most likely give me what I want, and he’d completely drop the whole home theater project. I wish he’d arrive at a compromise with me, instead of always giving me what I want.
