The reason I need a handy man is kinda sad

I had put off all this work, hoping I would find an SO that would be willing to help me with it all.

Needless to say, that didn't manifest.

So that is why I now need a handy man.

It's my own fault really for being a hopeless romantic.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a hopeless romantic, if for no other reason that it gives the hope and feel-good vibes of what could one day be.

A couple of days back mine discovered a leak under the sink and decided to fix it himself, a mistake I knew would turn into a thing. And it did. I had to spend half of my day repairing his mistake.

He tries and I can’t fault him for that. I just wish he wouldn’t take on tasks he has little knowledge of because it ends up being something I have to take over, and oftentimes I have other plans in mind for how I want to spend my time.

Rant over.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart I didn't say there was anything wrong. I said you should be able to do it regardless

@WoWgirll Um, pretty sure I was talking to her here.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart Still waiting for my bacon cheeseburger, DEAR! 😬

@PerfectionOfTheHeart don’t think that was a rant at all. Just you sharing an experience that makes sense.

Truth be told I probably would have tried to fix the plumbing leak myself too, but I will say I might know when I’m outta my depth.

And there’s always duct tape. 🙂‍↔

@Degbeme 😳

I’ll have the first aid kit at the ready.

@BillyMack I'm not smart enough when something is over my head not to try

@WoWgirll when you end up making a costly mistake, then you’ll figure it out.

I’ve broken many a thing and had to call in people more experienced than I.

@BillyMack I'm not smart enough to until after the mistake. Im not proud of that

@WoWgirll ok
