The issue is treating women like equals instead of partners with their own separate strengths and weaknesses.
The best relationships I've seen are the ones where each spouse has an agreed-upon role they fill and they don't cross into each other's lanes.
Typically, but not always that means women dream up the initial ideas and design while the husband stays out of the way and then she keeps her mouth shut and trusts her husband's decisions when it comes to translating that design into reality.

It's when these couples start second-guessing each other's decisions or making decisions on behalf of the other or trying to make every decision as a team that problems happen. The true teamwork is each individual filling their role and the other trusting their spouse's decisions within that role.

>>2818805
Make her agree to everything before you start work otherwise she'll start bitching about nonsense while you're working.

Give her something that's to her strength like gardening

There are a few talents women have that men don't want to do themselves unless no woman is around.

>>2818810
Yarp, that’s the truth right there.

My wife likes to design stuff. She’s pretty good at it too, uses AutoCAD and whatnot to design cabinets, tables, etc. I’m the one who reviews the designs to make sure there’s no real issues, then cuts and assembles the pieces.

I don’t really like playing with design software, but it’s fantastic to have. She’s mapped the whole house in AutoCAD so she can design stuff that always fits, so there’s never an argument about “is this too wide/tall/etc?” Sometimes I insist on changes to make sure the thing she’s designed is sturdy, but she’s good at listening when I say stuff like “can we add a brace to make this stronger?”

To all the Dudes on /diy/, your partner has strengths too. She may know how to do things you don’t, or be inclined to do jobs you don’t like.

>>2818805
I would rather clean and cook myself than listen to another woman nag all day long again

I watched some Women YouTube channel where she designed a wooden kitchen from logs or something.
In reality the dude did it all but because she tidied up and helped out she genuinely thought she did it.

Wish I could find the video tho the kitchen looked good. A window seat or something.

P.s Women are biologically irrational. They literally can't help it. You just have to not say anything, wait til they get bored then finish the job the way you wanted.
Nothing shuts a woman up like when she actually has to try and do the work.
She will complain her hands are sore and give up.
Be quiet until then to avoid arguments

You just lower your expectations.

I've tried to do diy with my wife but she is so inept at anything involving spatial awareness that any diy activity we get into turns into me just sort of observing with amusement. No matter how many times I explain the difference between a drill and a driver, no matter how many times I explain why I need so many saws, nothing ever really gets through. She even claims to want to do projects, and she's even started some of her own, but every time just ends with me fixing her mistakes and/or completely taking over her project. I think part of it is just the fact that female brains tend to view 3d space differently, but another big difference is that whereas she sometimes has to use tools, I enjoy using tools.
Anyway, I love her for othe reasons so it's all good. She did give me a son after all.

Agreed with some different specifics to her.
But how do you deal with the fall out when you actually fix her shit and she gets pissed at you for this as "you know better" but in a bad way implied, despite you knowing better

>>2819346
NTA, but you can't really make a woman happy unless she wants to be. Absolutely do not argue or fight with her when things get heated. If she is contentious, then avoid her. Do not take it personally when she gets pissy and takes it out on you. Understand that she has a completely different role in life and with that comes a different set of struggles. She experiences life much differently than you and her pains in general are much greater because she was not made to conquer the world like we were. She was made to be our helper and provide us with children. The first story of the Bible handles this exact issue and spells it out for us. I think these issues are typical between man and wife, yet time and experience will naturally temper them. It is always eye-opening for a woman to see how good she actually has it with you when she can see how badly her friends, or others, have it with their man. That kind of thing just takes time, imo, and that's why it's important not to stir the pot even when she is getting out of line. She never remembers what you did, only how you made her feel. I am certainly no expert, but I have had my own experiences. It does not help that our over-arching culture is currently anti-family and pitting us against each other. Just got to keep trucking along, take care of yourself, don't be a pussy and remember that you aren't alone.

P.S. I don't do any kind of important DIY with my wife. I do it by myself or I get a friend to help while she takes care of the kids. Non-vital projects are fine and can be fun if I take it easy and lower my expectations. She does like to do things that I will hate to do, which I appreciate.

this is such a shit thing to deal with, but youre making excuses for shit women. you do not have to settle for these types of women. yes, there are a lot of them, but heres a whitepill: there are plenty of good ones, who never argue, who never get moody, who never act passive aggressive, and who love you unconditionally and who make an effort to make you feel like youre important to them. i truly feel sorry for people who get stuck in relationships with bad tempered women, especially those who have to try and make excuses like this to convince themselves they made the right choice by staying and/or having kids with them. but if youre in a relationship with a girl and you havent had kids yet, and she has one of these flaws, dump her fast. there IS someone better out there for you.

that's the spirit, let someone else do your woman then

Here's the trick
Shut up. Yes. Shut up
Then let her do it
Either she will
A. Fuck it up and will want you to fix it
B. Realize how hard all the stuff you do is and she thinks is easy from Youtube and she will want to give up and go fuck about

In either case you finish the job and she learns respect for how superior you are.

women ruin everything

You only complain about publicized women because the good ones generally stay off the internet and are too busy /diy/ing IRL. My maternal grandmother is a homesteader who was an equal partner in starting a farm, building a log cabin, and raising four children out of a tent in the forest of Northern Ontario. My mother got scolded for accidentally dropping crayons through the floor joists in the single room second (mostly incomplete) floor onto the wood stove. That same wood stove cooked 100 acres worth of maple sap into a steady supply of free, real, maple syrup that I got to grow up with on my pancakes.

Practically skilled and resilient women exist in an excellence that will be rewarded in the Kingdom of God long before /diy/ ever sees it.

>>2820830

Handicrafts.
Your woman should enjoy crochet or knitting as well as whatever art or things. The thing about diy hobbies is there's a lot of cross-skill and thinking. The more hobbies somebody learns the more hobbies they can get gud at.

She should do a hobby she enjoys.

>>2818864
>To all the Dudes on /diy/, your partner has strengths too. She may know how to do things you don’t, or be inclined to do jobs you don’t like.
Lucky, my wife is a miserable bitch who never learns her strengths and tries too hard on what's she weak at. Fails everytime and then has me come into save the day.
She used to not be like but has progressively gotten worse. Ironically, I've gotten /fit/ and it has made her more insecure because she sees all of the chicks eye fucking me.
I hope that her chest x-ray this Friday reveals her cancer came back so I can finally be rid of her without a divorce.

I have learned to respect a woman and her ability to /diy/ to the best of her ability. I come from a poor family composed primarily of women, some of whom got together with shit men/husbands who died early so not a lot of men in the picture to help them with such things. As a result they learned to "fix" things that work for them. My grandma, godless her was the best at just rigging shit and trying to install things you would never think about letting a 60 year old woman do. Stuff like flooring/gazebos/patios, drywall too. Absolutely riddled with mistakes that would make the family chuckle but pride themselves in because "they've been there". It has to do with the fact that men don't really teach women men stuff like how to use tools. They don't design tools with women in mind either so sometimes they don't even have the strength to use them in the first place.
It only happens when they get older and stop caring about their beauty so much. My cousins for instance are absolutely useless, they can't lift a screwdriver or do basic shit like jump a car. They're young and out of college, yet they have no wisdom and no real motive to do stuff like that themselves.

Women assumes they have worked their way up, perfected their skills. Whereas female, anyone born a female can be a female. A child, an adult. It requires zero skill. And since many exercise zero desire to be a woman, and are merely females, it is more correct to call them females.

I keep matching with Mexican girls and their vaginas gross me out man

They’re not pink and pale like normal white girls

The labia minora is like this weird brown color, that matches the labia majors, the clit holds are also a brown tone

But rather than being pink it’s a dark red

So it looks like a wound

And you know how white pussy smells and tastes kinda like nothing

Well Mexican girls have an odor, that I can only describe as “sex odor” and a strong milky penny/copper taste

Like Mexican girls vagina tastes like you’re sucking on Pennies

And their hair is nasty and curly at heir temples and their forehead area

Rather than soft and full like a gorgeous blonde girl

Mexican girls also sound trashy when you have sex with them it’s so gross

“Ah shit, ah fuck, oh fuck, papi, oh shit”

Rather than white girls that have that soft moan and nice soft feminine exhales

All women are on a spectrum. They are all driven to irrationality. The good ones were trained to handle it differently, but negative female tendencies will still pop up, especially when they are stressed and/or in the middle of peak reproductive phases (puberty, ovulation, period, menopausal, etc.). They will all challenge you regardless of whether or not you think they're "good". The key is how you handle the shit tests in conjunction with the value that you bring to your relationship with her.

oh sweet, you guys remember my RV? it's coming along, I'm still in school so I just finished up another week long trip working on it, but my wife and my one friend came along so I got way less work done than anticipated. I'd ordered a bunch of transmission rebuild parts and tools and got the whole thing torn down last week alongside getting the steering column rebuilt and hooked up in the van, so it's now a rolling, steering shell again. found a few problems inside the transmission, most notably this low gear with a few chips on it, so it didn't get put back together last week since I've got some more parts to order. I'm excited for my next trip since I'll be putting the transmission back together and mounting the whole drivetrain in the van which is a huge step. once it's mounted I can have driveshafts built and I can work on getting all the different systems running so it can be mobile.
does anyone happen to know if you can reuse a clutch that's got grooves in it? I'm gonna have my flywheel and pressure plate resurfaced, but my clutch has ~1.6mm of material left and the lower spec is 0.3mm.

I'm happy to reuse one in good condition, especially since this one is an LuK clutch which seems to have been replaced not too long ago. I'm just concerned about the scoring present on the surface.

did some research into stock clutch thicknesses. still can't find anyone that's actually measured one, but here's a sample photo of a brand new clutch from the same manufacturer. to be honest, mine looks almost new to me. this is maybe reaffirmed by the fact that my input shaft was basically untouched, and there was what seemed like fresh grease on the needle bearing (which apparently always wear out and are broken on most trucks). I think between all that I'll just put it back together and see how long it takes to fail
