Pretty much. G would never try to stop me from doing something that brings me joy. He couldnt care less about Christmas decor, but he gets joy from my excitement.
He doesnt care for Alabama football either, but watches every game with me and encourages my excitement...
Which is NOT the case for the husband in the OP.

Yes it is. He cares, he hates it. G wouldnt hang a stocking if not for me. This guy is the same. The difference is, G cares about what makes me happy.

And his wife doesnt care about what makes him happy.

Okay, first you said he couldn't care less, then you said he hates it...

Because it brings her joy. He should celebrate that. What if he likes to fish and she doesnt like him fishing on the weekend? Should he give up fishing because she doesnt like it?
It would depend on how often he fishes. Everyone should have a hobby, in moderation.

Nope. Apparently a compromise is him getting his way.

When the decorating starts around here, if your too still for too long, you just might get lights or ribbon.

No--compromise is compromise. He even came up with doing it her way one year and his the next. Other things would work, too. She can decorate the rooms such as the dining room and living room where company would be--the kitchen, master bath, and bedroom are off limits.

There are a TON of ways this could be worked out--but she doesn't want to bend at all.

Give it up husker. You're not going to win. Personally I think he should move out so she has more room for her decorations.

I already said the same thing, and that wasn't good enough.
