no need for a 2x4 with you...you do a great job of seeing things for yourself.
I understand wanting h to have an opinion about the color scheme of the house but if it never was "his thing" why would it be now. with the next home improvement project you come across...just go with what you like after all you are the one who lives there.

I know it is not what you want but why can you not come and go as you feel like it as well? then it wouldn't seem so much like he has all the choice.
I am sure you will find your peace again.
so aside from painting the hall what other things are you doing for you.
