The title is slightly exaggerated…
I am torn here about what to do. Long story short, my fiancé (M,27) and I (F,27) moved into our first home about 8 months and it’s been mostly great. Since then I have put A LOT of effort into styling and decorating the house (like 99% of the effort). He is a stereotypical straight man in his 20s in the sense that the house would probably have little to no decor if he lived alone simply because decor is not an interest of his or a priority. It means a lot to me to have a space I feel good in and proud of. I feel like it’s important to note that he often says how nice the house looks and whenever our friends come over we receive lots of compliments which makes us feel proud and blessed.
This past fall, my fiancé went hunting and shot his first ever moose, and this thing was huge! With that being said, his dad has put the antlers on a plaque for him as a sort of trophy.
My fiancé is wanting to put this plaque on top of the fireplace in our living room. It’s important to note that our home is not huge, and these antlers are huge. They would be seen all of the time from all of the main living areas of the house (front entrance, living room, kitchen, dining room, back entrance, etc).
I’m proud of him and feel bad about shutting down this idea, but at the same time I put so much thought and effort into the look of our home and I know it would drive me nuts to have to look at it every single day.
My compromise was to put it in the basement, which he’s not at all thrilled about and is pretty upset with me for not being on board. AITA?
