I tend to be pretty straightforward, but that sounds like the kind of passive-aggressive thing I’d do once in a while, you know, just for sport.

Frau Hessian works a very hard stressful job.(Nurse) Mine is a walk in the park.(High School Teacher) I don't mind at all taking care of the "house duties." Bless her heart, she doesn't cook very well,(but thinks she does.) She stays out of my kitchen and I make sure she is fed, take care of laundry and such.
This morning she was eating a big bowl of cereal. I don't care for stuff like that so I made myself a mushroom/mozzerella/onion omelet with Thai chili sauce. The look on her face was priceless. Where's mine? she said.
On days when she is off I'll come home and she'll tell me she is starved! I don't care if I've got meals staged in the reefer, she won't eat till I get home.
We went to church and came home after. She laid down and napped while I cooked dinner. I woke her at 1630, we ate and she went to work.
I sent her garlic mashed potatoes, meat loaf w/gravy, buttered brussel sprouts and a crossant for supper/lunch along with a banana & grapes for a snack for work tonight. If she complains about how I do something, she can do it. We came to that understanding long ago. It works for us.
I guess I make a good wife.

I'll never understand why people get involved with women like this. You must be either really ugly, OP, really bad at sex, or both. Why would you want to live like this? You think she's testing you now? She tested you on date 2 or 3, and I'm here to tell you, you PASSED her test with flying colors!

My wife asked me to wash her clothes once, lol. I wash everything together in cold water then dry them all together. I happened to ruin a couple of her shirts. Bingo, I don't have to worry about washing the clothes anymore. I do however get stuck cooking and washing the dishes but I would rather do both of them than to wash clothes.

She's not from a rich family. Rich people don't buy frivolous BS like tangerine sparkling water. They drink water. You think they got rich by buying tangerine water? She's from a maybe upper middle class family with a father who spoiled her rotten.

I used to Buy my wife flowers all the time. One time she complained about the flowers and how I spent too much money when money was the furthest issue we could have. You see, I was deployed and my internet was shit back in 2005. Took me over an hour to find the one, just right arrangement. I didn’t buy flowers for her for something like 8 years. V day? Nope Birthday? Nope! Anniversary? Hell no.

One day she asked why don’t you buy me flowers anymore. I said the last time I did you acted like an ungrateful bitch and refreshed her memory. She apologized profusely. She now gets flowers.

OP, find your balls. “If you make a request do not complain about the manner in which I accomplish the task otherwise, do it yourself”

I think I see a problem.

It appears you look at everything as work. You sound like you focus so much on work that even being with your nephew for the weekend is "babysitting" / work and instead of wanting to enjoy time together with family, you look at it as just work and in your mind the most efficient way of tackling this work is for you to take care of him one day and her to take care of him the next day.

When I have my niece and nephews we all enjoy time together as family. Sometimes things have to get done and I get them to help us, but for the most part I want to spend time with them because we're not guaranteed time on this Earth. And I enjoy being with them.

It sounds like you see your wife as work too. Maybe you need to look at what's important in your life and reproritize.

You are the leader in your family. If you don't like how something is working then you can change it. But you need to learn how to be an effective leader.

Start enjoying life and I promise she'll want to enjoy it with you. And stop failing shit tests so bad.

My husband freaking kicks ass at anything he does.  In comparison I'm barely competent with even everyday things.

We go about 50/50 with either him taking care of something if it's important to him that it be done to his specs or he just decides that he's fine with my *less than* job.

A couple of examples:

His grandmother always kept a spotless house.  Everything was meticulously taken care of and God help anyone who didn't do a job up to her standards.  I made the guest bed one day and he walked in and said, "Oh nononono.  This is how you have to do it."  He walked me through exactly how she likes the beds made.  Over the years I've attempted it many times but always fall short so he either helps or just does it himself.

I was taught to fold shirts a certain way but he likes them the way the stores do it.  For many years he folded his own shirts because I just made a mess of it trying to do it his way.  At some point I made him show me exactly how to do it and I try-----and do a passable job-----but they're never perfectly square and flat like when he does it.  I need to get that flip folder thing so I can do a bang up job.  But he's happy that I now fold his shirts that way and doesn't terribly mind the subpar job I do.

I know a couple where the wife is the super competent one and the husband struggles with everything.  All I know is that I've seen it from both perspectives by dealing with them.  He hates that she gives detailed instructions for every little thing (and he still screws it up) and feels she's nitpicky.  She hates that she can't rely on the other adult in the marriage to handle things responsibly and how everything winds up on her shoulders.

Yeah, nope.

I don't mind working, but also don't order me around like a bitch.  Also, pull your weight.

Or if you have the kind of money where you are used to ordering everyone around......hire some help for that.

But you shall not treat me, your husband, like your bitch.

Above is probably exactly what I'd say.

We can’t judge your entire relationship based on the description of one day. BUT

You sound like my wife and I sound like your husband.

Except my wife used to get mad if I wanted her to do it a certain way or if I came back and redid it. She's getting over that. It was a confidence issue we've figured out.

Her parents were divorced and both households were pretty sloppy. She grew up thinking it was normal to be a slob.

I didn't know how bad it was until after we were married. It's been a source of contention but after 4 years of pushing her she is now starting to outdo me on the cleanliness and organizational fronts. When we go to her dad's all she does is clean. And this last weekend she was at a batchelorette trip for the weekend and she came home talking about how those girls were so sloppy and it stressed her out because she was the only one that kept her stuff from just being everywhere. I was so proud.  

Neither of us are quite where I want us to be on organization and cleaning but we're easily in the 90% percentile.

As we get the house remodeling done it's getting to be easier to do too

I made her a big barbequed steak dinner.

Today she wanted me to go get 5 yards of brown mulch to put on the front landscape, she wants to help spread it.......I said, we better wait until Wednesday because rain is forecasted today and tomorrow.

Sorry.
