Do the mistakes really hamper the outcome of this? This is sooooo frustrating sometimes
That's why they're considered "mistakes".
Now to be fair, you're going to make mistakes in this. I've made mistakes in my situation; we all have. We're dealing with strong, complex, emotional relationships. That is why we have to take the emotion out of how we deal with it. That's not to say you can't be emotional about this process, just not in the presence of your spouse.
Be all business; Act As If.
