Resentments of my wife's choices, and a realization

From time to time I feel resentful about things in my life that would be different and more agreeable to me if I weren't accommodating my wife's preferences. These are not big things in the big picture, but they come to mind periodically. One is that in this summer weather I would be hanging out laundry on a clothesline, outdoors. Another is that we would be living in a smaller house, probably a rental so that we would not have so much responsibility for maintenance. Another is that we would pay some nice person to come and do some house cleaning regularly.
So I just realized that all of this adds up to: I'd like it if things were more like in my family when I was a kid growing up!
So I think I have some growing up to do :D

These are the compromises we make for our partners, right. I'm sure she has similar thoughts and feelings about your arrangement.

And my fiancé and I are coming up with our own arrangement.
@sarabee1995 I do hope you will be inviting everyone here to your wedding! 👩‍❤‍👩

@ThePatientAnarchist Actually, I am quietly advocating for a small, intimate affair with just immediate family and close friends somewhere far away. 🙂
