If/when you discuss having someone else do it if he cannot do it in a certain amount of time, be sweet about it and tell him how much better it would be if he got it done and how much you’d prefer him to do it. The male ego can’t be saved. Agree with lol@ withhold sex, that's funny. What actually might work better is the opposite - telling him you will "reward" him with sex! Lol All kidding aside, Shortskirts makes a great point. If you "kill him" (figure of speech) with understanding and kindness and tell him you will wait as long as it takes as NO ONE could ever EVER do as good a job as he, it might inspire him to get it done faster. Agree that the male ego cannot be saved here. Good luck G, let us know what happens! Edited October 24, 2020 by poppyfields 1 1
major_merrick Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 I hope you're making progress on your project! The best way to save the male ego in this case is to NOT have any other men in your house working on your project. If you want progress, you're gonna have to do some things yourself. If you've got holes in the walls, drywall is easy to learn. He can't fault you for working on your own house. And if you're slow and fumble with it a bit, be visible about it. He'll want to step in and help you out because you're being vulnerable and your stubbornness can be seen in a cute light. If nothing else, you'll be learning some skills by doing things yourself, and that's empowering and positive in spite of the situation. BTW, don't withhold sex. I'd probably avoid rewarding with sex either. I believe that sex ought to be a constant "given" in a relationship. 2
