I'm Team Alone. But it took me too many years to figure that out. I used to drag poor DH out so we could garden. I would be working away and I would turn around and he was gone. Back in the house, watching sports.

I finally had a defining moment when all became clear. I sat down next to him on the couch and said, "You know, we march to different drummers, and that is OK. If I need your strong back, I will call you on your cell."

Then when his back got old and not so strong, I hired a young back to help me with the hauling and digging on Saturdays. Now that I am retired I also call the HOA gardeners to see if they are in our area. If they are, they will come by and move something for me. Smiling
If it is not going to affect you five years from now, do not let it get you down.
