Fixing the house might kill us

My husband and I have an old house. We usually get along. We don't fight much. Unless we're fixing the house. He never finishes projects. and when I try to help, he gets mad and stops talking. Then I just yell. It's a vicious cycle. If only he'd finish projects on time.

At least your husband is willing to help. Mine just ignores everything and lives in his own little world. I know it is hard to cope but maybe if you did not try to help, it might be better. Just a suggestions but maybe a goal setting finish date might help. I fix most of the things in our house or else I get my son-in-law or son to assist me in the things I cannot get done.Good luck!
