the bathroom cabinet

Not long after writing last night's blog about how I was ridiculed after pointing out a pretty big flaw in her ideas in the 'room of doom', my wife and I started another discussion about the bathroom. This was initiated as I need to put a barbicide jar somewhere, wanting to get a closer shave than my Phillips one blade gets.

This has been a sore point for me as I am in need of some functional mirrors here, even though I actively avoid them.

Since moving I have proposed a corner cabinet as this would also clear up clutter, but upto now been greenlit then shut down repeatedly.

This mess however is frustrating me as much as the 'room of doom'

I saw a stainless steel one on Amazon, and the wife stated she didn't want it because it required cleaning, but also said that wood is a bad idea because of mold (we have both been so burned out from dealing with mold in our last home). I advised that leaves only plastic, which I can't find anything suitable and that deffinatly will hold mold as we learned last time. In frustration I asked what sort of magical material would suit?

In a huff and after showing her where, how big the unit will be with a tape measure and the fact you can only see a mirror she approved the fitment.

Walking away she mentioned needing a place to put her makeup as her case was no good. To which I agreed and mentioned my travel case gifted by my sister is too small also, we should probably look to looking at getting two.

She snapped back about my makeup being expensive. It's not, it's cheap but there's a lot as I'm still learning. (While there is an expensive cologne, it was an unwanted gift one of the girls in work regifted to me)

She ignored that and started berating how I should stop watching influencers online as they are prompting me to buy expensive makeups only.

I am not watching those influencers. Point ignored, just repeated the line about influencers whilst talking over me.

I am now just not engaging, but now I saw a infographic from Instagram that mentioned how manipulators withdraw contact in punishment and I am just now questioning my own actions having followed other advice on how to stop feeding into a narcasist abuse and gaslighting cycle
