passive-aggressive guys make a point of not doing
anything they’ve specifically been asked to do.

In 33 years of marriage I've used command voice
maybe 5 times, and they were all emergencies.

Wife can use command voice 5 times in an hour.

Since when is sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander...

I'm surrounded by examples of being told what to do.
It is RARE for me to tell her what to do...

What gives with this?

Not following biblical principles eh. The bible teaches men to be the head of their households and wives obey their husbands. Of course husbands are supposed to love their wives as Christ himself loves the church.

It’s a tall order, and somewhere along the line, everything went awry.

Maybe she does more without being asked? You withhold more and she plays the game with you by pushing you for it?

Pretty darned hard to judge a marriage across the ether.

I hear ya. Its almost never the other way around.

Not long ago I called home to ask my wife to buy some butterfly bandages. I didn't tell her, but I had split my forehead surfing and was on my way home. Got home, no bandages so I ended up getting them myself.

I wasn't raised a spoiled child, luckily.
