I've been watching old episodes of The Hills lately because it's mindless drivel and kind of fun. Most recently, I watched the episode where, after asking Heidi to move in with him, Spencer has this fugly mural painted on the biggest wall of their new shared apartment.
Heidi's pissed because the mural is ugly and they didn't make the decision to put it up together. Spencer says it was a surprise for her and that she should be thankful.
Whether or not the show is scripted, the problem is still interesting. Do you and your SO tend to make decisions together, or do things like this mural happen every once in a while? How would you deal with this if it were painted on
your wall?

I kinda like it in a way. Lol.
I'd be like, this is coming off the wall right now. I'd want to make that sort of decision together.
Haha, my gf watches that show and from the scenes i have seen it seems like Lauren Conrad in season 4 has a very embarrassing mustache and she kind of comes off manly, to me anyway she seems like a dude in disguise, as for the weird gift, It's the thought that counts, right?
If it was a decision like painting a huge stupid mural on the room of our new apartment, he better be freaking discussing it with me first or there'd be some serious problems.Â
Although he did take a hold off of an apartment that we'd put down without consulting me first after talking to his parents about it...caused the biggest fight we've ever had thus far, so I don't think he'll be doing something like that again...you tag my nice big wall? i'll paint over it and you can sleep in the closet.
I would hope my bf would discuss certain things like that with me. I'd be pretty pissed, not gonna lie. But little things that he knows I'd or we'd both like, I wouldn't mind it being a surprise.
we make decisions together usually ^__^
&I would drive down to Home Depot and find paint to cover that up.
My bf knows what I like and what we both like, so this situation would not happen to me. If he's gonna surprise me, he usually gets me something he knows I like, if he's uncertain at all, he will discuss it with me (I do the same for him). But if this situation ever happens to me, I wouldn't be angry because he was thoughtful. And it's our apartment, so it's private and if friends/family come over to visit, I'd say, "my bf painted this for me." I will consider his surprise gift sweet.
I think that that was a pig-ish and selfish move by Spencer. Based on what I've seen on Heidi, a mural like that is obviously not her style and is clearly of a representation of only Spencer. Though I do not like the couple, this is Exhibit A of what not to do concerning your living quarters when sharing them with a significant other. A decision like what should be painted on the walls must be discussed by the both of view. Mainly purchases on a large scale should be discussed. If you want to bring in a new vase, go right ahead, but please don't go painting any walls or buying any new sound systems without discussing it first.
spencer is a big dick face and any action he does should be laughed at cause he's fucking dumb
my boyfriend once came back from a trip super-excited about the present he got me...
it was a blow-up inflatable giant beetle that you wear on your forearm. he still wonders why i dont just wear it around : X
OMG.... if my boyfriend got me a gift like that he obvious does not know me at ALL which means we def. should NOT be moving in together...
My boyfriend has given me gifts that I don't like. He gave me a fur vest from Aeropostale (that really excited him and made me get excited) but upon seeing the gift ... my face fell and he was very disappointed. :( lol I felt bad returning the gift (but there was no point since I wouldn't wear it ... ever) ... but I tried to console him :/ I did my best to not hurt his feelings.
And then he bought me some jeans from Armani Exchange that didn't fit me. >.> So I had to return them. haha not weird gifts, but ... gifts I didn't like. Don't outright say "ew" ... it will hurt your guy's feelings.
He also bought me my hamster >.> which has already passed away and that was the best gift anybody's ever given me. <3
I'd draw a line in the middle and paint over half of it. My half.
his wall is filled with graffiti. i painted a view of the sun with clouds and a field of green green grass in a small corner that wasnt taken.
he does things when he wants to do it. like get an ugly ugly haircut!!! bleh... its okay. itll grow.but why the hell would he graffiti "HOLLYWOOD" thats just.... fckin gay.I would go directly to Wal-Mart and buy a gallon of Killz and cover that ugly thing up. Then I would have a looooong discussion with my boy about how decisions about our mutual home should be a compromise between our two styles.
We would talk about it, but most of the time I'll get it my way. :P
I like graffiti art, though "hollywood" is definitely not hardcore. Now I don't watch the show, but from this article it says that HE asked her to move in with him. Therefore would it not be his apartment and shouldn't he be able to paint whatever the fuck he wants on the wall? If she was paying for half, ok, kinda a douche move. If they picked out the apartment together, again, douche move. But if her name isn't on the lease what right does she really have to bitch?
