I do get annoyed when I make bed or do washing and she comes along and says it not done right and re does it instead of saying thanks
I get defensive when I feel misunderstood or "under-understood". I've got great friends, a professional mentor, and a wife (and a lot of prayer, too) that are helping me see through these times and try to listen. I think it's working but not quite certain what the wife thinks.
You are perfect just as you are. It's not your fault that the rest of us don't realize it all the time.

My appearance! I would like to start working out and also be able to keep myself up (hair, nails,etc.) I like to look my best and I'm happiest and more confident in myself when I'm looking my best. I don't think he understands how critical that is to me
I multiplex less nowadays. Getting lazy, she could push me more
I over think most the time. I need him to help me get my ideas under control.

Confidence that I can do anything and not let others stop me. He already helps....he believes in me and supports me when I feel I cant continue.
I need to loose weight and my husband got three exercise DVDs for me including the Zumba he also sorted out room in our lounge room for me to do exercise so sweet
I could improve my romance, my partner can initiate as well.
I'm really defensive. Which stems from having very high standards for myself.
Her: being happy
Me: trusting her more
Me: trusting her more
I'd change my pouty tendencies. Making me giggle helps.
I would like to not be so relentlessly critical of my partner. I also wish I had more patience. In terms of getting help, I just need to be kept in check. Don't let me run rampant. I may get angry, but in the end, I appreciate anyone that reminds me that I'm being unreasonable.
My stomach n my breast. Help pay for surgery!!
My appearance. I need to start working out and get toned again. He usually helps because he's so encouraging :) also, I would like to work on my frustration issues. He helps by making me laugh and gives me good advice!
I would like to get my "mojo" back. I need to lose 20-30kg. My wife could help with positive support, but it is really my job alone.
Min svenska. Och han kan pratar mer med mig.
