[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. How do I respond when DH is angry that I hired someone to fix the shower? There is no way he will say thanks or even say nothing. He will definitely be annoyed.

And to the PP who asked if I am a money waster, no I am not. DH and I definitely disagree on what is a worthwhile use of money and what is not, but at the end of every discussion, he has the final say. I have conditioned myself to be very frugal over the years in response to his behavior. [/quote]

Your only hope (aside from counseling etc.) is that it will play out like this:

DH: Why did you pay someone to fix the grout when I said I didn't want to?!
OP: I asked you to do it and you didn't have the time, so I just took care of it
DH: I didn't want to pay blah blah -insert complaints-

Next home repair that comes up, this is how you approach:

OP: The gutters need to be cleaned. I was going to call XYZ Gutter tomorrow.
DH: That's stupid, I will do it.
OP: If you want to do it yourself that's fine. However, the last time this came up, you never got around to it. So let's figure out a reasonable timeframe that if you don't get to it, I am going to call and hire someone.
