Of course, there is more too it than that.

I am an amateur photographer and take and mount lots of photos that I we use in the home as art pieces. Most are landscapes, some are family photos.  I got my wife a number of pictures framed for Christmas. In addition, we had probably 7-10 other framed prints sitting in my room that needed hanging.  My wife had been bugging me for weeks to get them hung up.

&amp;#x200B;

About a month ago, she took the kids to see her parents. I spent my "free time" doing projects around the house--including hanging all the pictures. Note that I actually take a lot of care and consideration into what gets mounted where. I am also anal retentive and make sure I have exact spacing between photos and use a level. Took me about 3 hours.

&amp;#x200B;

My wife comes home and instead of being happy that I did what she asks, she goes on a rampage about how I "dictated" were the photos would be and "didn't ask for her input."  I responded by apologizing and saying I thought it was more important that they were hung in a timely manner because she had been riding me about it.  I then asked her which photos she didn't like where and she said "thats not the point; it should have been a joint decision."   

&amp;#x200B;

This resulted in a major argument in which she asserted that I have "taken control of decorating" and "she never gets to put anything where she wants" (note, I have never refused a request by her to decorate something).  

&amp;#x200B;

I got angry enough that after she went to bed, I took down every single photo in the house, removed all the nails, and placed all the frames, nails, a hammer, tapemeasure, and level, and left them next to her side of the bed.

She was not a happy camper in the morning and called me an asshole.   That was 4 weeks ago.  Yesterday I told her she could hang them wherever she wanted, and she said "I don't know how to."

So...was I justified in my actions, or AITA??
