This is exactly what I was talking about on the "About feeling sexy..." thread.
Quote: I'm "in love" with the flower when I appreciate its beauty. I'm "emotionally fused" with my husband if I let his disdain for the flower spoil my appreciation of its beauty and I'm "emotionally connected" with my fellow flower lover when we share a smile over the beauty of the flower.
This is knowing YOUR preferences, likes/dislikes, and when you KNOW this about yourself, it doesn't really matter to you what your H thinks... not because you are being mean to him, but because you are honoring yourself.
So... if you love beautiful flowers and your H hates them... you don't ask him to tend to your flower garden, or go to the Home and Garden Show downtown... but that doesn't mean he gets to ruin your feelings for flowers.
