Okay. Like every adult I have a moment in my life when I bought an apartment and now I need to renovate it. And you know what? It's just awful. I thought it was such a fabulous thing when you just pick something you like and buy it. But no. There's a bunch of little details that you have to consider and that keep you from finishing it all as soon as possible. It's just... Now we've been picking out a fucking sink for a week because my partner and I don't agree. We might be getting a divorce soon because of it.

I'm renovating the house and I'm tired as hell.

My partner and I have settle these differences in taste via the "blind dice" method fairly often. We make a shortlist (3-5 items) and one person assigns a number to each one. The other person picks a number at random. Whichever one we land on we go with, even if one of us isn't super excited about the outcome. It works well because it forces us to pick options that, even if it isn't our favorite, we will both at least be okay with because we don't want the other to be resentful after.
Also renovating is stressful as hell. If you already have a sink maybe just leave it for now and come back to it later after you've finished some projects and are less stressed about the whole thing, and if you don't then go buy whatever is marked way down and put up with it until you can find one you both like. If you think renovating is messy work, you haven't seen the legal process for divorce.

Just play rock paper scissors, whoever wins get to choose the sink.
Besides there’s many other sinks in the apartment no? You choose one he choose one easy.

Haha I feel this so much. Renovating sounds exciting until you're knee-deep in decisions about sinks, tiles, and every tiny thing. Been there recently, even appliances became a headache for me. I randomly came across https://appliancerepairtopekapro.com when I needed to sort some repairs mid renovation, and honestly, it saved me some stress. Hope it gets easier for you soon, hang in there.

You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way — renovations always seem fun at the start, but once you get into all the little choices, it can feel overwhelming and exhausting. Sometimes taking a short break from the decision-making helps reset the mood and avoid extra tension with your partner. Also, when stress piles up, it’s worth remembering to take care of your own energy and recovery too — I once came across Human Growth Hormone for sale https://veranmedical.com and realized how many people look for ways to support their body during tough periods like heavy work or renovations.

- Keep your naivety and childlike innocence for other, more pleasant things in life. Renovation is hard. And renovating a new apartment or house is twice as hard, because it’s not just about choosing nice wallpaper and a comfy couch. It’s really something you can’t handle well without help from specialists.
I decided that even the simplest home renovation tasks I won’t do myself anymore. At least I wouldn’t do it well, so it’s not worth it. And if we’re talking about serious stuff, like redoing a roof, I’d much rather hire the arlington best roofing company in arlington tx that I found on one of these contractor sites than try to climb the roof myself and do it on my own.
