My wife had a very stressful and demanding job that paid well. I sacrificed my career advancement so she could pursue this dream. After a few years she burned out, was miserable, and wanted to quit to find a new job. However this came with a huge pay cut too which made the decision more difficult and I was (hopefully understandably) frustrated because I had made all of these sacrifices so she could follow her dream.
But I wanted her to be happy so we figured it out.
Moral of this story? Since then I’ve learned how much truth there is to the “happy wife, happy life” idiom.

How right, I should limit my neurotic nitpicking to appropriate spaces.

No complaints here; I just want the wife’s to be happy.
