Forrest,
Give me a ballpark figure here.
You and you wife:
Get along and interact nicely: 0% of the time? 10%? 30%?

Fix? Or help, advise, support?
For me; 'fix' sends warning bells. If I fix someone, what happens if they 'break' later? Do I get to 'fix' them again? What if I'm not around? Shouldn't they be capable of fixing themselves? And if they are fixed, are they going to be using the skills they hopefully learned to keep up on maintenance?

I get that Forrest, if you told me to back off I would.
If I got the feeling that you were really just screwing around, I'd find a better use for my time.

What about that should I change?


You're answer is very 'Wife-centric' and not Forrest-centric, let me switch that up.

What value DO you bring to the relationship?
You SEE both side's but do you show it?
And what is the reality of you not walking away?

While it is commendable, that you do contribute and can see both sides and have not walked away, do you wear your sufferance on your face; in your attitude; or in your words?

Are you passive aggresive towards her because of your wants are not being met?
