Your changes for you are fantastic, no question, and this is simply my opinion. I am not an expert, but I am learning something while going through my own marital struggle right now. That is simply this...I am not sure your wife feels like she is being heard and valued. You seem to do many things your way.
I understand you are a real estate professional, and you like the house. But, you WIFE has wanted it on the market for some time. If I remember correct, in one of your posts, your FIL gave you a hint this is what your wife wanted also.
I know you want to save money, and that's understandable. In a recent conversation with my wife (who has filed), she told me I didn't need to be so cheap about everything. Let her plant the flowers, it sounds like she enjoys that. But for goodness sakes man, spend the money to bring in the house cleaners.
Spending money on something SHE values just might help you some. Something that I have learned from my C and from some others who have been guiding me is to put myself in my wife's shoes when I have a decision to make. Just food for thought...
