So few weeks ago DH mowed through lawnmower cable, no one was electrocuted but lots of swearing and tantrum whilst I calmly looked on you tube found a video how to replace cable and ordered one from Amazon, came next day. Next day DH sat for 45 mins mending the old cable with electrical tape WITH THE NEW CABLE NEXT TO HIM. I offered to help rewire the new one or share the video, no, look I've got it working. Last week he went to mow lawn, stopped working, que another strop, even though I'd really asked him to be safe about this. Today, I'm out gardening in front, come in to get a coffee and he's sat watching the cricket RETAPING THE CABLE. He's asked me to be supportive of him doing it his way. please let me understand the mentality

A phrase I find myself saying repeatedly at the moment is ‘you can’t argue with an idiot’.
Leave him to it OP. Put the kettle on.
