lol, Nef your partner is or was obviously an oxygen thief
I divorced my husband in 1982. Nobody has had their feet under my table since, i.e. moved in.
I have several male friends but find that if I ask them to "fix something" they have less clue than I do. So, I either do it myself, or call the expert.
Not all males are good at "fixing stuff" ... some are absolutely hopeless, don't listen to instructions, stuff it up and tend to expect "something" in return. I would prefer to pay to electrician, plumber or whatever.
You obviously hang around with the wrong crowd lol
I fix cars , fences , water lines, birth animals, plant trees, build gardens, incubate chickens ducks turkeys, raise cows and sheep, manage beehives have around 10 hives this season, And a full time job,,I also cook and clean

I don't "hang around" with anyone. I have one male friend who is great with computer stuff. Don't need somebody to mow my lawn "free" so I pay for that. No cats, dogs or birds here. I pay for a lady to come and clean. Other than that ...
Oh, I do NOT cook or make coffee for anybody.

My little lovely has been gradually learning to use many of my tools.
But she draws the line at some of the more industrial ones.
But over the years while helping me renovate my home , my fathers home , my sisters home and my daughters home, she quite competently uses most tools.
She even took to basic repairs while I was overseas for extended periods and can competently replace washers, install wall fittings, replace powerpoints, even some basic car repairs, although changing her tyres is beyond her as she cannot lift the tyre back onto the hub.
Most women can be as competent with tools as men, but some just dont cut it for the strength required to use other tooling for extended periods.
' .......... replace powerpoints ......... '
I am in the electrical industry. Unless she is an Electrician she should not changer GPOs.
The Insurance will be void on our house if there is a problem
Pardon my opinion
But PowerPoints are so simple these days, colour coded and easily replaced
I have taught her to strip the wires correctly, and ensure good connection
And of course isolating the circuit, not just switching the fuse.
It's not like adding PowerPoints
That requires some basic calculations, which most people, electricians included, neglect to do.
You can easily overload a circuit with additional PowerPoints if you don't know what you are doing.
Be that as it may, it's still illegal.
So is working on your car, installing kitchens and operating on yourself.
Why pay an overcharging leccy, when with a bit of common sense you can do it for a fraction of the cost.
I have a dream
A world free from the plague of Islam
A world that has never known the horrors of the cult of death.
My hope is that in time, Islam will be nothing but a bad dream

I hear you there, men are toxic for not reading instructions or taking other people suggestions into account.
Much better idea to pay a professional.

Did the court give you the house in the divorce settlement or did you buy it yourself?

NO! I asked for nothing and got absolutely nothing from my ex, the lawyer tried to talk me into "going for it all" but I told him I didn't want anything. He shrugged and did as he was told.
