So this isn't about a Honey Do list or being tired after traveling and working out after all.  You guys need to get on the same page about finances, needs vs. wants, and align your priorities.  [/quote]

+1 OP needs to realize that marriage isn’t a transactional relationship between opposing parties. It’s a partnership where you need to get on the same page. As a wife I’d find OP to be incredibly tiresome. Whine or wine….it’s your choice. [/quote]

Agreed. Im a DW too and make 50+% of our HHI and so the handy stuff (because i enjoy it and am good at it- except moving very heavy things). But dh can hire someone if he needs something done faster than I'm able to get to it. But he knows we would rather save the $ for something fun. So we come up with a time/$ budget together for all projects that would take me more than an hour to do. The list gets updated and reprioritized monthly etc. [/quote]
