Ask Koren

Your personal E-therapist, is in the house!

Perfectionist Wife Ask Koren Dear Koren, My wife is a perfectionist and I’m fed-up of it.

Shoes have to be put away always, everything must be in the right place and she takes an hour to get ready because she can’t leave the house looking less than perfect. I can’t even drink a glass of wine in the living room without her putting a tissue under the glass. How do I get her to calm down? It is becoming very stressful to be at home and I feel like I am begging for space in our house.

–Frustrated

would help if you make an effort to assist here and there with the housework so she would not need to be solely responsible and that would also give her more time to relax. Don’t bother to say anything about her time to get ready; just appreciate the fact that she did not just let herself go after marriage like some women do. Be proud of her when you walk beside her.

What might also help is if you had a dedicated area in the house as your personal space, that she is not responsible for tidying; some men call it a mancave. This area could be used by you how and when you wished and no one would need to touch anything and you can have some personal space every now and again. It’s a win-win situation and compromise is the key here to maintaining peace and order in your home.

Dear Frustrated, I have noticed that in most marriages the women do seem to be the ones more concerned with tidiness and order, often because they are the one mostly responsible for how the home is kept, sometimes with little or no help from the man. Most women feel it is their duty as a wife to be a good mother and to maintain a nice-looking, clean home; it is what they were groomed to do from the time they are girls. So please understand how important this is to her.

If you are feeling like a stranger in your home, that is a problem. Let her know that you appreciate her excellent home-making skills (you gotta throw a compliment in there), but sometimes you want her to just chill with you and not take everything so seriously. It

Mango Madness It is nearly that time of year when the delicious mangos are ripe and the boughs of the trees start to ache under the load of these lovely, aromatic and healthy fruit. You can eat them on their own, pop them in salads or put them in power smoothies that are really popular right now.

The only downside of mangos is, however, that they can be a little tricky to eat. You certainly don’t want to be enjoying one wearing your favorite white dress. The best way to eat them though, without a doubt, was demonstrated to me many years ago

The objective is to fill the full 9x9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3x3 “sub-grids” that compose the main grid contains all of the digits from 1 to 9 – with no repeats within each row or column within the entire square.

A partially completed grid is usually provided, which typically has a unique solution. See next weeks Limin’ Times issue for solution.
