I didn't mean to imply that if SW took care of these certain tasks, then her H wouldn't find fault anywhere else and she'd be in the clear. These are just some things she can try to tackle. It becomes less fuel for him.
Yes, I didn't mean to imply one shouldn't try at all or do housework or whatever and work on improving oneself, but just that you can do that, and yes, I think some of our H's will still be unhappy and finding fault with something, anything as you suggest. I still am really working hard on cleaning and organizing the house, and will be painting this week (plan to do a couple of rooms that really need it) and I just bought new living room curtains today, etc., but I also expect that H will still be finding fault with whatever he can find in the house and with kids and pets, you can always be sure to find something!
