Also, spying on the children - "Can you see where X is on 'Find My'?", "Can you ask if Y wants to Skype tonight?", "Have you looked at Z's Facebook/Insta feed to see what they are doing?".
I do think you (and/or she) could have been a little more imaginative with your children's' names.Penny Whistle said:

Or when you're injured.Yesterday I knocked a scab off a wound on my hand, Instead of a 'run it under the tap while I fetch a sticking plaster' uttered in a loving fashion, I'm subjected to an almighty bking for being a clumsy oaf and bleeding on the utility room floor. (Which I may or may not have deserved)

Words you never want to hear Option 1 - This is something that you may or may not have done but which is attributed to you in any case. Saying sorry won't help. She will remember and you will pay in some way, at some point. Going out with your mates to the pub / game / cinema / strip club will only make matters worse. Stay out of the way and attempt to either look useful or invisible.
Option 2 - This is something that someone else has done. Do not under any circumstances ask about it. She will tell you (ad nauseam) in her own time when she feels like it. Stay out of the way and attempt to either look useful or invisible. When she does tell you, and she bloody well will; nod and appear as conciliatory as possible. Do not under any circumstances offer either an opinion or a solution.
FINE (as a statement)
This is where she's acknowledging something (either a decision that you or someone else has made). This is not the same as agreement. You might be lucky and get away with it but don't count on it

I know this is a 'funny' thread and they will be a certain amount of artistic licence in the comments, but the above mindset is worryingly close to reality for millions of married men. What a sad way to live a life.
No it’s not. Random sample of a large group of friends, they’re all happily married and I don’t just mean the blokes.Everyone enjoys the odd moan but those living in true wedded misery are few and far between. Don’t believe what you read and don’t think it’s typical.

I do the food shopping in our house - far easier, cheaper and quicker
Yesterday i was asked "Can you call at the butchers and get £50 worth of Lamb ?"
To confirm i was getting the right amount i asked " Do you know how much Lamb is and is £50 worth enough?"
To which she replied "i have no idea how much it costs - why?"
