“Can you help me for a second?” First of all, every married man alive knows it’s not going to just be a second. Second, and most importantly, whatever it is it’s going to suck and you’re not going to enjoy it.

And, I was right! 4 hours of hanging pictures, moving furniture, choosing new bathroom paint color and overall PIMA.

Now I’m on the couch after telling her I’m done and now she’s mad at me because I didn’t want to hang new bathroom mirrors.

That’s ok. When she’s mad she doesn’t talk to me. Winning! 😆
 
Hold on. As a married man, why didn't you inquire details on her request?

"Ok I'm sitting here watching tv enjoying myself, what do you need a second of help for?"

How is she going to respond to that? Now she needs to justify why she should break your pattern of enjoyment. A woman is never going to do something where she thinks she's the bad person. At that point, she'll eject by saying "nevermind!". And then you zip it and resume your peace-n-quiet 🤐:)
 
"Honey, do you think we could (fill in the blank)..." (By the way, that's the royal "we" which translates to you)

Usually uttered while you're just about to drift off for a nice nap. It's never for anything enjoyable, will involve expense, and won't be quick or easy.
 
With my wife it's "Will you do me a favor?". Since there's no choice, it's actually "Would you please?". I've finally convinced here to just say the latter in the first place to save time.

Depending on her mood I will sometimes wait a few moments, look at my watch, and say “Times up”. After 32 years I find that I get it right ………most of the time.

I thought it was “Can you get me another pregnancy stick?”
