Seeking advice on handling conflict between my partner and my wellness practices
My partner and I recently had some guests over, including his uncle. The uncle made several critical comments about the meditation corner and yoga props I have set up in our living room, saying they look 'weird' and should be put away. I calmly explained that these items are important for my wellness routine and mental health practices. When he continued to insist they shouldn't be on display, I firmly told him he was welcome to leave if my home decor bothered him that much. He got upset and left, and now my partner thinks I should apologize for being 'rude'. I don't feel I did anything wrong by standing up for myself and my lifestyle choices. Any advice on how to handle this situation or gain perspective? I want to maintain healthy boundaries while also keeping peace in the family.
