If she would like to see me complete a project, for her, and l preform the physical labor, should she at least put forth the financial means to complete that requested project?

If l am expending a lot of physical energy doing something that l might not do to begin with, then it would only be fair that she pay for such projects. After all, l am not doing such projects voluntarily. Just like if l am keeping the electricity, water, gas, cable/satellite/internet and keeping her and the kids safe and comfortable.
What Girls Said
In a marriage all money is shared so that doesn't really make sense for her to pay up. If in a relationship still seems a bit weird
I wish someone had told my ex wife about “sharing”.
That's probably why she's a ex now? Lol
Partly. Narcissistic for the most part. Narcissism runs on her dad’s side of the family, including her sister and all the way down to her two adult children. Talk about me having been out numbered. Not Lol’ing.
18 years of my life l will never get back.
I am now living a much better life than she is. That l am Lol’ing about. I got the house, the land, the cat and six chickens. All she got was some cash that she has most likely now run through three years later.
Depends on the project. Do you live together and you have the know-how to fix the broken toilet? Benefits you both if you live together. If you have to hire a plumber, you share the bill. If you don't live together, it's an act of kindness and a u. If you need additional tools or materials for the project, she should pay for them - like everything you'd need to build for a bookshelf, for an example. It'd be only for her and she'd need to contribute if you agree to help her out.
That’s a great way to turn every favor or “act of kindness” into a financial transaction with your own wife and completely destroy the romantic attraction. There’s few things less sexy about a man than his hand in his wife’s coin purse if she asks him to fix the sink. Since household duties and chores are technically projects.
