[quote=Anonymous]I feel your pain. But if you guys truly have a pretty awesome life and marriage, then I'd say learn to pick your battles.

So, based on your examples, say absolutely nothing about the camping gear--they're aspirational and not harming anything.

Food waste: tell her you had to toss the lamb b/c it's rotted, and leave it at that. This happens in my household too and my DH is usually the one who overbuys. I just mention to him about having to toss the rotten food and he would feel remorseful without any additional commentary. Or, maybe put things in the freezer if you could not get around to cooking it.

I would leave the yard and focus on the leaky bathroom. Can you throw money at the problems? Hire landscaping service?

My DH likes to buy all kinds of hobby stuff and always has multiple irons in the fire. I don't like the way he prioritizes things, but I will only insist he focus on certain projects when they're absolutely critical and urgent. I have to let a lot of things go. I'm sure he'd say the same about me. We don't always see eye to eye, but somehow (eventually) we get things done.[/quote]
