He still doesn't say a bad word to me. He always tells me the good woman/wife/mother thing. But thank you, that's very kind of you to say. I guess I'm just old fashioned, I value family over everything.

Don't get me wrong, I would listen, but maybe I took some things to heart, like if someone had done something that would have upset him, rather than get defensive on his behalf, I should have validated, let him own his own issues.

Nothing wrong with buying new linen. Believe me as a woman, I think the way a man keeps a room days a lot. Back in the days of a student, I saw guys bedrooms, and my god. They literally never changed the linen!! I don't think they realised if they wanted to get a decent girl in those sheets, they needed to change the damn things frequently. I had a huge order at Zara home. Though I'm a girl and very particular about my boudoir. It has to be spotless, but inviting and cosy at the same time.

I see, so you're a Yorkshire man, not too far from me. Just the wrong side of the pennines.

And so sorry Anna, looks like we've hogged your thread for discussions of linen.
