help with a plan

[idontunderstand]

I wasn't thinking along those lines. She is always complaining about money. I figured why pay to have it fixed when I can do it myself.

"Don't get mad, get smart."

I have so many things going on in my head; what to say, how to say it, when to speak up, when to shut up. #$%@@***!!!

Any way to undo this latest screw up without sounding more controlling or fake to her?
