Marriage question for you all ?

Early tonight after family dinner. I proceeded to the kitchen to wash the dishes clean out the air fryer and clean the kitchen my wife saw me and said I got it sit down relax. I replied bae I was just being the man and helping since you cooked she got upset and still is about it because when I did it I forgot and left something in the microwave and because the left over asparagus wasn’t put in a smaller container than what I used. It was making me feel less of a man if I didn’t help. Should I have list to her and sat back down or kept helping.

    What's wrong with you two working together to clean up the dishes and put any leftovers away?

    Its great that you want to pitch and you should keep helping. My mom loves cooking but always complains how much work it is. So I started doing it, but it made her mad. She felt less needed and wanted to be the cook. Maybe your wife felt less needed? Keep helping though so she can have less of a work load. Once she gets use to idea of you helping, she won't care about minor mistakes.

    Your house too. People who share homes need show consideration for their housemates but they do not accept extended punishment for "mistakes". You made a very minor "mistake". Worthy of being reminded to check the microwave. And then dropped. Either you are making too big a deal of this or she is.  It's unlikely you thank her for every thing she does around the house so it's unreasonable if you expect her to thank you extensively if you participate as well.
