The gift is appreciated. Be grateful for the opportunity to connect.
From your description, I can discern your emotions and your frustration at being unable to control them. While your husband is considerate and tolerant, you are experiencing a deterioration in your own emotional state.
Please describe the situation.
You indicated that when you initially encountered your husband, you were emotionally stable and able to comprehend each other's perspectives swiftly. You were able to engage in lengthy discussions, as if you had discovered a perfect match. My husband and I also had a strong rapport when we first met, and I perceived him to possess a wealth of knowledge and insight.
Due to his apparent talents in both arts and crafts, I had developed a highly positive impression of him. However, after living together after marriage, I realized that he is not as capable as I had assumed. He is proficient in cooking, highly attentive and accommodating, takes care of the family, loves me and the children, selects clothes for me, and provides support in pursuing my interests. However, he lacks the ability to perform complex tasks and has a limited perspective.
I believe he should take the initiative and take the lead, but the reality is that he is not the male protagonist in a TV drama. In the first few years of marriage, we had many disagreements because our living habits and styles of doing things were different. Later, we continued to work through our differences, and now we can draw on each other's strengths in life.
Dear colleague, It is not that he has changed, but that you have lived with him and discovered that he is not the perfect image you imagined, but is very different. Therefore, your expectations of him will be repeatedly disappointed, and you will become increasingly disappointed in him. My feeling is that your husband is also quite family-oriented and very sensitive, but not the kind of macho man. He also has a lot of good points, but you expect a lot more than that. Think about why you married him in the first place. Best regards,
In comparison to men who leave all domestic responsibilities to their wives, the current man who is willing to do laundry, cooking, and housework at home, earn money, and be considerate is already a significant improvement. The fact that he has not committed domestic violence or left despite being scolded frequently by you demonstrates that he genuinely cares for you.
It is also important to note that he has some shortcomings, including a lack of direction, inattentiveness to details, and a tendency to be somewhat sloppy. These issues can lead to frustration on your part. However, it is essential to recognize that nobody is perfect, and everyone has both strengths and weaknesses.
If you continue to reprimand him, he will become increasingly discouraged and more cautious in his actions, which will not meet your expectations.
It is possible that his family of origin was also very strong-willed, with his mother always in control and his father being constantly belittled. He has inherited his mother's feminine traits and his father's masculine traits have been suppressed. Therefore, without awakening and changing, he cannot be the man standing in your way for now.
It is important to note that these behaviors are not the result of personal shortcomings on his part. If you continue to engage in these patterns with him and maintain a consistently critical tone, you may inadvertently reinforce his sense of inadequacy. Conversely, if you demonstrate a willingness to express your vulnerabilities and offer praise for his strengths, you can facilitate his growth and development.
You should strive to be more capable, and in comparison, he seems particularly inept.
Allow him to have his shortcomings too, and focus on his strengths. Adjust your communication style to be more constructive, for example, from "Why are you so sloppy?" to "Be careful next time, or it could be dangerous."
Mr. Huang Shiming once said, "A person cannot change unless he feels loved, respected, and understood." If you require a change in behavior, it is essential to adjust your own approach first.
The magnifying glass of life reveals numerous details about his imperfections. Attempt to view him from a different perspective and you will gradually develop a greater appreciation for him, both emotionally and professionally.
I hope this information is useful to you. I wish you the best of luck!

I can relate to how frustrating it feels when things at home don't go as planned. It sounds like you're going through a tough time, and it's hard to see the person you once knew change. Maybe it's time to sit down and have an honest conversation about what you both expect from each other now.
It's so easy to fall into a pattern of negativity when things aren't working out. But I wonder if there's a way to appreciate the efforts he's making, even if they're not perfect. Sometimes we forget to acknowledge the little things that people do for us.
I feel for you; it must be incredibly challenging to reconcile the man you fell in love with and the one who struggles with daily tasks. Have you considered talking to a counselor together? Sometimes an outside perspective can help bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
It's clear that you still care deeply about your husband, despite the frustrations. Perhaps focusing on rebuilding that connection and understanding could bring back some of the happiness you once shared. What do you think?
The changes in your relationship seem to have taken a toll on both of you. Maybe this is a good moment to reflect on what you've been through and find new ways to support each other. Can you find activities or interests that you both enjoy doing together again?
