[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way in the world would I wait a week for HVAC repair in 85 degree weather because my husband gave bad info. Now if it was a mild 68 degrees, I might wait.

But I have very little tolerance for this level of lack of self awareness. The idea he screws this up all the time and cannot see it at all is what would kill me. The reason my husband and I have an equitable split of labor is that we each can actually see our strengths and weaknesses — so then we play to them.

All of these women who would bend over backwards to appease their husband’s egos are killing me. That is not how I roll. [b]I would just tell him that I was better at this and make the calls. And if he wants to pout, have at it. [/b]But again, I didn’t marry a guy like this.[/quote]

This. I’m not putting up with incompetence when I know I’m better at doing something. If his feelings get hurt oh well. He’s not a toddler. He’ll manage. We’ve been married 25 years and know what our strengths and weaknesses are. We don’t get our feelings hurt about stuff like this. [/quote]
