"I like this"

I said a few days ago that the mind is a powerful thing. Today I discovered how weak it can be sometimes. 
We went furniture shopping. And I got overwhelmed and exhausted and had a little panic attack. 
Whenever Conrad said he like something overly expensive I would go into the extreme, as is I was trying to balance him, and would disagree. What I was actually saying was that the price is not quite in tune with how much I like that item.
What conrad head is that I dislike everything that he likes. We got into an argument later in the day. And throughout the morning I kept holding my breath, going along trying to do what Conrad enjoys and he didn't even take notice of my efforts. 

It was not a fun day. 
Later on, he asked me to tell him about my childhood. We didn't do presents well. We were always in need of something and if you had ears to hear, you knew that one needs a new pair of gloves, socks and new white shirt etc. and we were not picky. And we loved everything we got. I really dislike the pressure I feel around Christmas. 
Also, in my family, if somebody would only dare and say that they like something. It meant they really really wanted it. 
When Conrad says he likes something I hear that he wants to buy it. It's do hard to retrain my interpretation of "I like this" said in a store.
