A Wife's Burden

I am agitated and annoyed today. I think it sucks when I have so many things I want to do and I am limited by imaginary things like time and money. What are you talking about girl? There is nothing wrong with wanting to do something a particular way especially when that thing is rooted in good sense and order. I'm venting because I wanted to do something one way and my spouse, eh, not so much. Every time my husband tells me to wait to do something when I think we should do it "this way" or by "this time" it always ends up inconveniencing me (or being a disaster) in some way or making the situation less cost effective in the end, but at least I submitted. . .Ugh! For once, I want my husband to submit to a request I make without giving the guilt trip: Well, do what you THINK YOU HAVE to do. . .  Where is the diplomacy in this? Where is the give and take? Is the husband/man honestly always right? I don't think so!I'm not trying to tell my spouse what to do. I'm not trying to ignore what he thinks but there has to be a way we can work together for a common goal that doesn't leave me feeling put off or inconvenienced all the time. I'm the one with out a car this month! We both have strengths and weaknesses that compliment each other but right now everything feels so one-sided and I feel too put off to do anything.
