Spot on. Honestly that construction story was infuriating, he was the problem the entire time and probably shouldn’t be giving relationship advice. There’s no such thing as a “perfectionist” in the first place since what qualifies as “perfect” is a subjective point of view.
Anybody, and I mean anybody, can point out little things that are wrong in something. Especially in construction, by people that have never done it themselves but holds financial power. Also, I guarantee all the slight changes he thought were critical enough to warrant constant intervention actually weren’t, or could’ve been addressed later. The cost would have been significantly higher if the contractor factored in the time it took to satisfy him. He was getting what he paid for.
