* Shower head with a hose.
Brad: 'Hell NO! they suck -- it's like someone's peeing on me!'
Dee: It makes it easier to clean the dog!
solution? Maybe find one with a bigger shower head?
* Planning meals.
Brad: 'I don't mind going to the grocery everyday.'
Dee: 'I hate it!'
Solution(for now): We buy some stuff on weekends, he goes to the grocery everyday and I do laundry everyday.(because I'm all about not letting laundry build up)
* Toiletries on the bathroom counter
Brad: 'What are you doing? My toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, cologne, and deordant stays on the counter!'
Dee: 'It looks cluttered!'
Solution(for now): Let it be. Put that shit up when people come over.
* High school diploma, sorority certificate and other college shit(aside from degrees)hanging on the office walls.
Brad: 'WTF!!!!!!!! We aren't in high school or college anymore! why have this crap up!!???'
Dee: 'It's already nicely framed and it's not in immediate viewing area. At least we have stuff on the walls!!'
Solution: Keep it there until we have a big mansion with big closet walls to display it. Degrees from college stay. (Brad agrees on college but nothing else... am I wrong?? Maybe I had my own place for too long??)
* Candles and what not in the 'playstation area'
Brad: 'Are you freaking kidding me! I have not said about much but this is my manland!'
Dee: 'Ok.. I agree'
Solution: Dee gives in..
All in all.....I understand why there are shows about couples merging their things....
BTW--Don't be freaked out about my earlier post about all the marriage books. No, I was really never one of those girls who couldn't find a man. I was just one of the many 30 somethings who dated the 'wrong' guy for 3 1/2 something years..then spent three years not making the same mistake.
There were many people that wanted me to not go down the same path. THANK GOD!! CIAO~

I'm most concerned with when Brad was peed on in order to know what it feels like.
:)
Love this.....it takes time.....I've been married almost 10 years and would still like to kill Blake for the little things (remember the water issue?!).
Agree with Casey - it does take time. Mr. ESPN and I have been married 11 years and there are still stupid things he does that totally annoy me. Part of life ... plus it doesn't help that I am OCD!
No diplomas hung unless y'all have an office. Please, Dee? My dad actually has mine hanging in his office...he paid for it!!!
Shower head. I'm with Brad again, the removable ones just trickle.
And sometimes you just have to give in. I have a freaking black buck hanging above my fire place.
This is too funny!!
You give in on WAY more than I do. Way more.
I started hiding all the shoes he piles NEXT to his closet (instead of in the cubbies I bought and assembled myself) in the attic. He didn't notice for 2 weeks! 2 WEEKS! Finally I gave them back when he couldn't find his beloved slippers on a cold day. He uses the cubbies now.
they do make a shower head with both, the top part is stationary and it has a hose w/ a head too. they have one at my gym and i love to shower there. i have seen them at costco and i acutally just saw one in the bed,bath, and beyond add this week. check it out. mark and i have a rule....i get the house, he has 1 room (his office which i hate and he always wants to have the door open when we have guests) but we can veto something if need be. so if i were to bring home some pink floral thing, he could veto it! but with stuff on the countertop, baby steps....try putting up one thing at a time and eventually he will get used to it.
omg this post is too funny - andrew and i have a lot of the EXACT same 'dilemmas' - i'm going to make him read this tonight hahah.
ps. praying for your uncle gary. so sorry to hear that, dee.
