Don't be sorry. I know exactly what you are going through. This is a big issue between my husband and I also. I know he means well and he just wants to help, but it's completely unnecessary. I love building things, doing yard work, fixing what's broken, ect. And I am good at it, so why would I need him to take over what I am doing? It's relaxing for me and gets my mind off of any stresses I may be having. Just the other day, I was going to put together a dresser we had bought for my son's room, and he says, "I'll just do it. You can go outside with the kids in the meantime." I was like, "um, how about you go outside with the kids so I can finish what I started." He got offended and pissed off that I didn't accept his help. I don't think he even considered that he offended and pissed me off. This happens all the time and I get nuts over it. So I feel your pain!
