Парень отказывается принимать друзей в доме девушки, потому что ему не нравится её декор — и у интернета есть мнение по этому поводу.

While everyone should decorate their home as they please, our interiors affect the way we live—and can even cause a rift in our relationships. Case in point: A guy on Reddit asked, “Am I the asshole for telling my girlfriend her home decor is the reason I won’t host a work gathering at her place?” Naturally, thousands of folks chimed in with their thoughts on the decor dilemma. The verdict? Yes.
The Reddit user explained that he works in finance, meaning “appearances and first impressions are important,” and that it’s his turn to host a party for his work colleagues. The problem was that his place was under construction, so he was staying at his girlfriend’s apartment. She offered to have the party at her place. He declined and decided to skip his turn hosting. When she asked why, he said, “Her home decor is strange and not something a grown woman would have.”
While he noted that “a majority of her home decor and furnishings are okay,” he listed a few details he finds bizarre. One defining feature is a wall that's covered with framed preserved insects—not of butterflies or moths but of tarantulas, beetles, and large stick bugs. Another wall he dislikes is dedicated to animation with Futurama-themed items and "etchings of some weird triangle guy." Her bathroom boasts a twist on the common ocean theme. “Instead of starfish or shells, she has a little anglerfish nightlight, a small vampiric squid painting, and then a framed diagram of what apparently is a Goblin Shark right by the toilet,” he wrote.
He added that he avoids bringing people to her place, especially those from his job, “because of how juvenile it looks.” He continued: “Everyone’s impressed when they see the high rise, but that quickly fades once you enter. The one time I brought a work colleague over, they ended up telling me after that they found her insect wall terrifying.”
The overwhelming response was that he was in the wrong in this scenario. One person wrote, “It's fine if you think her apartment's ambiance isn't appropriate for a work event, but YTA (you’re the asshole) for dating someone you don't actually like and then expecting them to dull who they are so your coworkers don't get the vapors.”
Another added, “You don't need to bring your work colleagues over, but if you yourself look down on your gf because of her interests and how she chooses to decorate, maybe you shouldn't be with her.”
“You don't really love her,” another Redditor stated. “If you did, you would rejoice in these FANTASTIC examples of her quirkiness. She sounds great.”
Many pointed out that her decor is simply her choice. One user wrote, “Why wouldn’t you decorate your home with things you love? That’s one of the best things about having your own place, that you can put whatever you want in it.”
The people of the internet have spoken! They think couples who can't at least respect each other's decor taste shouldn't be together, and we have to agree.
