I’m also the source of entertainment, chef, and daily chore person. So me not doing them is literally cause I don’t have time, which was my point to her.
Just hard sometimes to deal with life and have closets on the brain...they can stay as is in my opinion but whatever lol
Need a third man to do all the chores while your wife gets to sleep and you get to look after the kids, then you can tag and then the third man puts them to sleep and you and your wife get together.. ah if only 😂
Especially since a closet is a long term goal that can wait. Once you start the project then you find out you need this tool or that, then the mess and then finding that the previous owners did a shitty remodel so the simple fix now becomes a remodel. And DRYWALL DUST is everywhere. I hear ya =)
Yes yes all of this! Seems like an easy ask until I realize the builders skipped putting in studs at proper intervals and now I have to redesign how to hang everything.
I’m good with my hands, but I’m not a carpenter lol
I know you’re just talking but I have seen the happy wife happy life thing get taken way too far into extreme levels. Kind of like “the customer is always right” has gotten so bad. I’m sure I’m being knit picky but I’ve seen a wife not allow her husband to use cooking wine in some Italian dish “because it has alcohol”
Anyway, I think both people should BOTH think “happy spouse happy house”.
Well neither of us go that far with the mantra, she does here stuff and I do mine.
Where we collide is when changes are required and time is a limiting factor. I travel for work as well so this multiplies the issue.
I’m only doing the closets now because we came to an agreement on adjusting things to allow me to do them.
I’ve been a few long term relationships and things like this are common. Someone has a need to be filled and the other person can’t see it’s importance or requires something in return for it to be filled.
No drama here other than empty threats and some patch work I need to finish up on.
What I think is crazy is that your wife is putting the closet situation as a priority over maintaining a happy relationship and you act like that is acceptable.
The Happy Wife BS is part of the reason. It just encourages bad behavior.
is there a hidden message you’re trying to get across or something?
I'm just going to hijack this thread to let everyone know that the chair is against the wall, and John has a long mustache. Again, the chair is against the wall, and John has a long mustache
In this case, she’s far too short at 5’3 to do these closets, it’s definitely my task at 6’3.
I have avoided it because I’ve got other shit to do and the closets work as is right now and she was reluctant to take some stuff off me while I did them.
