Your wife sounds so much like me. Especially the negative reaction to your helpfulness around the house. I did the same exact thing with a bank account. I was so embarrassed later to realize I was wrong. But I had already acted like a fool and I couldn't admit my error. My pride was a big problem in the M.
I think that might be a problem for us WAW--even after we realize we've made a mistake our pride won't let us back up and have do-overs.
