Dave needs to embrace new experiences, instead of always clinging on to what he knows
My partner, Dave, and I usually live in London, but we’ve started to spend six months of the year in Barcelona over the winter. I like the freedom it gives us, but we have different approaches when it comes to keeping home comforts when we’re abroad.
I believe Dave needs to acclimatise more to Barcelona in order to get the most out of it. When we got to our apartment this year, the furniture was a bit tired. So Dave decided to fix that by buying a load of blankets. He draped them over everything. Dave said he was covering up the worn-out furniture, but the flat now looks less like a Barcelona flat and more like a British student bedsit. He thinks I am just being pedantic and calls me a snob.
