ftresi,

“Not at all. My other half would still going nuts cleaning the house even if we went away. As much as I hate Pesach at home, I do NOT want to spend it in a hotel either”

I think your poor attitude and resentment towards your wife is much more damaging than her “going nuts” cleaning. If housecleaning (organizing, weeding out unneeded things, scrubbing soap scum in the shower, etc.) is causing delays or stress in Pesach prep, then perhaps you can offer to help with housecleaning in Shevat or Adar, so that Nissan need not be overloaded. A clean house is much easier to check for chometz than a messy one. If she is feeling miserable because of the Pesach cleaning, mention your concern to her and if appropriate, point out what’s required and what’s not. Otherwise, take a deep breath and realize that not everything in life is going to be fun, so make the best of it. And thank her – she is taking a huge burden off of you by doing the cleaning.
