Of course the paint has cracked, etc, and thin slivers

Anyway, how do wives you know (happily?) handle this problem?

They listen to someone who knows and don't put in wood back splashes.

I have a butcher block kitchen counter with wooden back splash.
It has been in place since 1978 / 9.
It has never needed repair.
