I count myself very lucky. My better half, is the one who still wants too events when it's not good weather, spends hours scraping paint, sewing canvas, etc. Even more to the point, she talks me into keeping going when I would like to give up. Mind you, as she is a mental health nurse it's about what you may expect.
She cried when we parted with a vehicle a few years ago, I did not! She drove a 400 mile round trip in 24 hours between shifts to collect a vehicle as I was too ill.
But, even if your better half just keeps you feed and watered, it's all good work. A buch of flowers, an evening out in your MV with a meal will all help.
