[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm a man and my spouse is woman. A highly intelliget, highly educated (Ivy undergrad and grad) woman but I'm losing my mind.

It's been like this for years but I lost it this morning over a half dozen things we needed and neither had time to clean up. Then she played victim that I was upset by a problem she caused that affected me and our kids.[/quote]

Well, you’ve now gotten three pages of suggestions.  What are you going to do about it?[/quote]

Does she work? Is her job in jeopardy? There is no way she is not similar at work but maybe senior enough to make other people clean up the errors. [/quote]

Yes, she works. She's is a SME in a very technical field. She regularly briefs Statesmen and Stateswomen, has a TS w/ poly, the whole nine yards. She is as high up as that role goes but she can't be bothered to read a label when it's for anyone but her.[/quote]

I'm your wife OP. I am in a role that requires a ton of attention to detail and I have no problems following direction or instruction from my employer but I don't care about the dust on our tables or water spots on our bathroom vanity. It's of no consequence to me. But if it involves money, I'm on it because I hate losing money. So DH can trust me to keep a 800-credit score but not to keep our house spotless.[/quote]
