.... I mean yeah? You need a HVAC class for furnaces, automotive classes for the car.... you didn't just magically know wtf you're doing because of "Who you are as a person". Yes, there are many, many people just like her across the planet... until they gain the knowledge.

This is some weird "they're just not capable" gate-keeping. Show your spouse what your commenting about them and I 100% believe they will prove you wrong. You might try even encouraging, learning with, or helping them build confidence instead of telling them they're not allowed to FIX ANYTHING in their own fucking house. Jfc.

You would be wrong. There are many, many people who little aptitude for fixing things. And my Wife has tried to "prove me wrong" more than once. Even she admits it always ends up cost us more than if she had not tried to fix something because I then need to go back and redo everything. Often at the added expense of extra repairs that now need to be done.

She flat out admits that she has no ability to fix things herself. Jfc
