I just saw this commerical where a husband walks into his room only to find his wife made it a room for her. I saw this and I say to the set,go to the sports club , obviously she doesn't want you home. And then I hope while he is there je finds himself a girlfriend. To me this is the perfect way to say to him the house id hers Not his. And If I were he, I would take it that way and stay away as ling as I can. In fact if I were trying to see hockey and she did that, I would pack and leave! How many wives out there would just take over her husband's room? Would you?

I agree. I think the well to do Victorians got it right. For the husband , there was the study and his wife had a sitting room.These days he Should have a Man cave an she should have her sanctuary.

Myself and my husband would normally sit and discuss about what things are needed and which go where so that we do not fight over all that later. Most of the time, our choices are the same, so there would not be much room for taking over his space. But there are some things I would not compromise on and he would let me have them or change them according to my wish.(He knows that it is no use protesting anyway:-D). I have never decorated our room with girlie things or colours, always had it neutral, so it was never a problem for both of us.

I have not seen that commercial. It may not be in Canada. By "his room" do you mean their bedroom, or a room that he had set aside as a rec room for him?
If it's their bedroom, they should design it together. If it's a family rec room, they should design it as a family. If it's a room agreed upon for just him, she shouldn't have done it. It would be as unacceptable as my husband re-doing my office without consulting me first, and without me deciding how I wanted my office done.

It was a room that was his.Just for him. I haven't seen the commercial in a long while. I hope many were doing what I did, change the channel.

I wouldn't take over my husband's Man Cave.. if there was only one room available to do something with I might ask if we could split it up, but well I wouldn't change anything.. of course I don't change things now either so...

My husband has no room of his own.LOL. we still share our bed but we don't sleep beside each other anymore. However, I am not making the room as my room. He has equal rights to use it as I do.
Anyways, my husband doesn't pay attention if the room or the bed looks girly instead of neutral. For him, As long as it is comfortable to dwell and sleep in, then, he has no complaints about it. :)
I'll never take over his room or his house if ever our relationship comes to an end. I just leave.:)
