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

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.

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.
