Rohitt that is quite routine. What i like my wife will not like. What my wife l;ike i will accept. do not worry. normally pink is associated with girls. blue with boys in usa and canada. buy some colour you feel right and smile at her.

what a suggestion , i think every husband should follow this. Pink is not my color at all. I like blue and some shades of green. I think its a myth ,that girls like pink. I am receiving notification from yesterday night.

hahah..well your wife seems she is obsessed with pink. it is common for girls to love pink and I can understand how you feel seeing every thing pink around you. I would get bored after sometime as well. That is why I have painted all the rooms different colors. So if bored with one, one can go to other room,,hahha..Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Hi, I don't like pink either. There's this girl in my work who loves purple, everything she used is purple. Sometimes, I think that she is a bit exaggerated. But what can we do, she seems happy about that. But you're right that it can be annoying sometimes. I just don't mind them. It's a good thing we're not living in the same house so I guess you need to stretch more patience.

You should discuss your feelings with her. I'm sure she would not mind to compromise if you two talk about it nicely. After all, it is not just her room, it is 'his and her' room.

Thanks a ton for posting this discussion. Well i can understand your feelings as my mother and my sister also love pink color. In fact it would be wrong to say that pink is not a woman's favorite color. Every woman on earth love light colors especially pink and that is the reason why most of them prefer having everything around them in pink color. I know u must be getting irritated to see everything pink at your place. Its high time that u make her realize that there are also other colors on earth other than pink. Ha ha. What say?

When you are living together,please do not be careless with your choice and emotion.The relationship is one that is permanent.When you give in to a partners wish, please know in the long run you mayn't be comfortable, if you have to adjust always.Now you can discuss with your wife, and tell her that the color is not suiting your taste and both of you can compromise and choose a color not annoying to both of you.In a marriage it is always give and take,so please ensure that there is a give and take arrangement and mutual understanding of each others taste and choice.Try to make choices that will not annoy or hurt each other.

I can understand your feeling. Actually the pink color is quite girlish. Suppose if your home is all in pink, it is just like a girl's home rather than a couple's home. You can tell your wife to choose another color that can make both of you satisfied.

I too like the color pink. Actually any color of that range except red. I think anytime you cover the place with a color you too are going to get tired of it after a while. Can't you add some of your favorite color to the mix also? It is only fair.

Maybe you and your wife can find a way to compromise on the pink issue by switching to a different shade of pink. Maybe something that is barely colored and more subtle would be less disturbing to you. It's your home also, and she should let you choose some of the colors.

Well I am not a guy, but if there is pink there is too much pink period.. I would rather have blues and greens.. If I need to add color a balance between red and purple.. But I would prefer just blue and green.. Pink is just in my opinion an unnatural color..

Too much of something is not good actually. We get sick and tired of it. I love pink but i like variety. I don't want to look at the same color every single day of my life and everywhere I look. It's too much. Even if it's another color, I would still feel the same.

Hi, Your wife is so fond of pink color that she wants everything in pink color. You should tell her your color choice. You should use the combination of colors of the chioice of both. I and my wife both like blue color but we didn't use blue color everywhere in our house.

This reminded me of one of my classmate. We were making different items of clothes such as teacosy, tablecloth etc in our craft class, my classmate's father always brought orange, whatever she made was of orange color. It was really funny to see that of all the colors people choose one particular color. Somehow I am very fond of all shades of blue.

hi rohitto well tell her your favorite colot as maybe the two 'of you can sort of compromise by using red or another color with pink dee p brown or blue or black takes it out of the girly range into something modern and outstanding. do get some color swatches and see if she would be willing to paint the walls in a less womanish color.

I was kind of annoyed before with my mom who covers our home with brown. She really loves the color, from brown curtains, sofa covers, rags and everything. But then, I realized, that the color isn't bad at all because it's quite pleasing and the color is light. So I just let her do that. I love pink colors too. But I think not to the extent of having the whole house covered in pink. I just pick the pink color for my clothes and accessories.

Each of us people have different taste and different opinion about different colors. I just used to buy home items by looking whether the color matches the floor as well as the wall. It doesn't matter what color we select but it should make our home much more beautiful.

I think it would be an idea to sit down and explain to your wife that while you understand how much she likes pink, you are starting to feel a little overwhelmed by how much pink is in your home. Maybe, if you have a second bedroom, or a room that isn't being used for much, you could use that room as your own, to decorate how you want to, and have the colours you want in there. Maybe you could use it as your own kind of den, or office, or just somewhere to escape to when you want to get away from all the pink in your home.
