Smart Man!I just go out in the garage, work on stuff and other things that need to be done. I know how to correct this. And it will be hard. To re-place everything. This is the very definition of being long married. You let the wife make a mess of things and it doesn't matter. She is happy to set the tiles how she wants, off set, and no lines to follow. This makes her happy. Okay. She will never see the corrections done. Yet they will be done. And the final product will be exactly the thing she wanted in the first place.
We're coming up on 48 years. We've learned that she has a way of doing things that are different from mine so we don't normally work together on a project. Every once in a while we do because it takes more than 1 person, so before we start, we discuss in detail what each person is going to do. If we have to turn something over, we discuss which way to roll it and how far, where it is to be placed, if on blocks, when the blocks are to be moved into place. etc. And we don't play board games or cards or anything where we compete against each other. I'm capable of cooking, doing dishes and laundry, but she does not like the way I do it, so I leave it up to her. It works for us.Coming up on 35 years this year but we have learned that we each have our lane. Working together is not one of them, wife has the talent to do the opposite of what I say, i.e. move back means hurry to stand under what ever I'm about to drop even if it a round bale over her head. Hold this means let go and "help". Don't touch I just welded it. means grab a hold of the red hot metal, throw it on the floor and then run away screaming. Wallpapering together ALMOST caused a divorce.
I have learned it's easier to either have my son help or figure out how to do it alone. Less headache and happier life, my daughter has her mom's talent as well.
Love her dearly but working together is hard NO. Wife does not like me to help in kitchen either, says something about being in the way all time.
