Np Define "bother". Does it mean not discussing the problem? If so, than you are not ideal at all. I have no problem calling a plumber etc but, nice to talk it over with spouse!

I can do plenty but if I am setting rat traps we had better be moving, and soon. Rat traps, that is where I draw the line brother.

When I was a boy, dad blew his back out, badly. He was an excellent cook and did that, the dishes, too. He re-wired lamps and got carbureted cars started when it was cold.

Mom ran the lawn mower, the chain saw and even shouldered the varmint rifle when that was necessary. She never complained.

I couldn't have a helpless woman for a wife.

Low drama. Able to handle things for herself but isn't completely independent where she doesn't involve me at all. No procrastination. Into sex. Someone I can talk to about work and bounce ideas/thoughts off of. Rational. Loves travel. Someone who genuinely cares about others but knows the importance of taking care of herself too.

DW has all but one of those characteristics.

My ex husband married for for "practical reasons" ($). We see how that turned out. I was a means to an end.

Aside from the physical and having a high libido. There was a really good post/comment some time back describing an ideal wife, and I really enjoyed reading it, but I cant seem to find it now.
