welcome to the forum.
I am so sorry you have to trouble communications how you feel to your wife. I can relate to having a partner who feels they are always right and that I am always wrong. It is so hard to cope with when everyone sees yiu4 partner as wonderful and caring and never see the real side.
I hope you get help from groups like Relationship Australia.
it is hard to change someone who is in denial, so you may need to decide what you really want and how can you get it.
you are not alone. We are listening.

Hello Jimmuck, welcome to the site and for reaching out to us because it seems that your wife isn't doing you any favours at all, by being adamant and believing she is always right means in the long run that eventually she won't have any friends that want to continue to see her, simply because they won't be able to have an opinion without her criticising it, and I take note of your age.
You need to be congratulated for the effort you've put into building the house, an extremely great effort, but if any room and the pergola is full of junk ten have you thought about slowly getting rid of it, I wonder whether or not she'd notice.
Having this amount of control doesn't sit well, especially when all the money is in her name only and needs to be changed so the money you earn either goes into a joint account or your own account.
I can't tell you what you should do, but if this was happening to me I'd be making a decision for the future, it's time you started to relax and get some enjoyment out of life.
Take care.
Geoff.

Hi jimmuck
Sorry to hear you have been having problems with your marriage.
So apart from the marital problems, one big problem for you is that she hoards possessions which clogs up your bedrooms and pergola? Sorry I’m not fully understanding, there’s a lot of information there you’ve written.
How old is your wife and how long have you been married? What do you do for work 6-7 days per week?
