Hey everyone, i might be putting this in the wrong forum and if might fit better elsewhere, please let me know..
Im a 30yr old man and have been married to my husband for 2yrs now. Growing up I was fairly sheltered and never really had to do anything around the house(not so much my choice but my mom pretty much did all the chores) and my dad isn't any sorta handyman so i never had the opportunity to learn stuff like that. My husband on the other hand is very hands on and has a lot of knowledge when it comes to house stuff and fixing things so honestly, I many times feel inferior to him.
My problem is that there are a lot of times where I feel like I'm doing something wrong. One of the things he has tried getting me to work on is cooking. If i am alone, I'm good with going and trying out what works and trying different things and learning my lessons that way and what not but when he's around, I feel like I'm being watched and lose confidence in what I'm doing and honestly can't perform.
Tonight, the most simplest thing almost led to another argument because we got home and parked our electric car in the garage and i went to plug it in for the first time. So i grabbed the entire hose off the wall(which i didn't need to do) and he says to me, "honey you don't have to grab the entire hose".. so he was trying to give me a suggestion simply but right away my mind felt like i failed and did it wrong and then tried to salvage it by saying, "let me do it and figure out how to do it myself".. which inadvertently led to some snarky remarks and almost an argument..
My question essentially is how can I stop from having all these feelings and has more confidence in myself?
Thanks
