Quite right again.
I think part of the solution is to be very careful of what I ask him to do or put in his hands. If I evaluate how irritated I'll be if something drags on for months, I'll be able to figure out whether to say
"Gosh, that light is broken. We really need to call an electrician."
or "Gosh, that light is broken. My cousin told me about a good electrician, I'll call him tomorrow and arrange for him to come over, ok?"
Because honestly, there are times I don't mind being without a light for a few months, and I don't want to feel like a bossy wife.
