SHOULD THE MAN BE ALLOWED TO KEEP HIS BACHELOR- CARPET?
As many of my Swedish friends are starting to get more serious with their boyfriends and maybe even moving in with them, I can't help but to notice certain trends. The trend being that women make, eh, a lot of decisions. Sometimes informing the boyfriend, sometimes just "knowing" that what they're doing is the right thing to do.
Some of them have have what they call "ugly rooms" where they've put furniture that belong to the boyfriend and which they refuse to get rid of, but the girl just can't stand to have in the rest of the flat/ house. So, she simply puts all of that in one room and calls it the "ugly room." And then they hope that eventually he'll "grow out of it."
One friend calls the guy she's dating her "renovating project." When I asked her to elaborate she explained that just like an old house, he has great potential and could become shiny and new with her helping hand and a bit of creativity. The question is: are men AWARE that to so many they are, apparently, "renovating projects?" And are they even capable of change?
One of my friends is amazingly creative, has great taste and has made her (their) house absolutely beautiful. Except, there's one thing. Her boyfriend refuses to get rid of the carpet in the living room, which absolutely doesn't go with anything and is just.... random. After a year of carpet- war, her plan is to phase him into something new that's semi- manly and then before he realizes she's swapped that too for something that she wants.
But is it maybe the case that this last item somehow, well, represents the guy's manliness? It's as if, if he loses the carpet, he's definitely been whipped. If his friends come over, at least he can say he picked out the carpet? (Although, of course, the friends would play along anyway since they're highly likely to go through the same process.) Maybe it's just easier if we let them keep the carpet, although we all know that we're the ones who make the decisions? =P
Finally- perhaps we could find men that don't actually have to be renovating projects, but are, you know, a good fit and that we like just as they are. Although most guys are still likely to bring with them an ugly carpet or cupboard into your life that will take over your house. On the other hand, if the only flaw is the carpet you could probably live with it. (Well, for a year or so. There are limits.)
Personally, I know I won't have the same problem as my friends. I'm in a different position since I'm perfect. And my future man will know that. Right?

Out shopping with Emma yesterday... Will show you some of my purchases later ;)
Ps. I have to go to the dentist later. One of the least fabulous and sexy things that I've had to do since 1st of June. Dislike.
