First off...........he'll learn. If he doesnt, someone else will. Ouch.
Nine times out of ten, I'm happy to be interrupted by my wife. At first I get a little anxious.....not sure of I'm in the dog house. If I'm not about to get nagged, I truely enjoy her company.
If I'm in a jam, and cant figure something out, cant get it fixed.....I always ask for her help. She may have no idea or clue what I'm trying to do.....but when I see what shes doing wrong......I see the light and get it figured out. Sometimes.....she just does it right to start with.
It feels good to know my wife doesnt want to be involved in my garage/barn projects....but is willing to lend a hand and get all dirty when I need it.

Hmm..I think there are always situations that he or she does the wrong thing in the other person's eyes. The big question really is how often..Is it always that way? Has there been any communication about talking/listening and understanding what is important to both people? Was it a one time thing he feels bad about? Nobody is perfect, no one can please their partner ALL of the time. If he intentionally treats you with indifference, hurts your feelings, yells or whatever and continues doing it over and over after you have explained how it makes you feel, then you have a different problem to address. There is always a bigger picture to look at.

I'd expect you to do the same thing Rockette did last Thursday,
She brought me a beer, and as I was taking my first sip, she told
me she got the job she was after, which happens to be a better
paying job than she has right now... What you have to do is make
him take a break, bring him a beer/pop/cup of coffee, when he takes
a sip, tell him the good news...
