Working at home with your spouse is a great idea

If you like fighting over petty little things or would like to die young.
I am married to the most amazing man - he really is perfect for me in so many ways. We are also very much alike, and while this makes for a great eHarmony testimonial (no that’s not how we met), it does cause problems when you are in each others face 24/7.
Both my husband and I work in the same field and started our own company about a year ago. We are extremely happy to be able to work at home, however we are having some serious difficulties when it comes to how we work. I am a work-o-holic-extreme. He has a more relaxed approach and does things in his time. My idiotically high expectation and standards cause me to question everything he does; all day every day. I feel like I have turned into my husband’s boss and if he was the type to go postal…well, I would be a statistic.
Here’s a perfect example - I am grinding away working on some tedious project and I look over to see that my loving husband is browsing his fantasy football scores. Oh how it infuriates me. I make a snide remark and hope that he will realize that what am really saying is “Damn, why am I slaving my ass off over here while you are browsing the net?” I find myself in this situation several times throughout the day. I think I bring it on myself. I need to let go, but feel like if I do then how will the bills get paid?
I’m driving my husband crazy and driving myself crazy in the process.
