I've pretty much convinced myself she won't divorce me because she wouldn't have any one to give something to do.
I've told her that she should have married into a higher socioeconomic class and she could have had a butler or maid or whoever around that she could have given a million petty tasks to, without any rebuttal.

I dare not sit because then i'm cornered to listen to 20 mins of what appears to be Charlie brown's teacher speaking about her day.
Sure i shake my head like i'm listening and catch the main points but at some point i get lost and want to just relax.
Woman Truly are from a different planet i believe

They know that you can't pay attention otherwise.

Just look at her and say her need is unfortunate and ask her how it makes her feel. That’s all they want.

You could have stopped at ‘happy’

You noticed that too? I’m starting to see a pattern

Women are usually unaware if what is going on around them

No one else’s wife waits until I sit down to ask me to do something.
Except for your Mom.
I usually tell her to earn it.

This 100%. My wife had the uncanny ability to catch me in person while I am elbow deep in grease and grime to ask a question that is so off the wall I have give her that “huh face” she despises so. Also has the ability to call me on phone when I am 20 feet off the ground doing something that needs a fair bit of concentration and attention.

I'm fairly confident, my wife tells me things in her head, and then gets mad at me for not listening to her. I caught her one time. She looks at me and goes, "well? I was talking to you". I looked at her like she was batshit crazy and she goes, "oh, i thought i was talking out loud".
Yet i'm the a-hole when i could swear that she still does that. I mean, there is a good possibility i just didn't listen to anything she said, but i'm gonna go with "she's just talking in her head again" as my defense. It hasn't saved me from arguments yet, but one day...

Bingo. And he means this literally because if you forget something, you've fricked your whole argument.

this is one of the things they discuss in groups in the ladies room.

It is a sixth sense for women. I could stand in the living room for eight hours a day, walk around in circles, and be asked to do nothing, but the second my butt hits the recliner *BOOM*. I think it is some genetic defect in women that they cannot stand to see their husband relaxing.
There is also the "Sunday Surprise," and it's not something sexual. It happens all of the time...it's 3:00pm on a Sunday, you've been doing shite all weekend, you're ready to wind down and relax and prepare for the week ahead, and bang! The wife suddenly wants to rearrange furniture or some other dumb shite.

I think everyone on this board is married to the same woman.

It’s already been said a few times in the responses, but I’ll say it again….
There’s nothing that a wife hates more than to see a man comfortable, content, and relaxing.
It’s their ultimate trigger.

I'm an older guy. About 52. Been on my 2nd marriage for 15 years now. It's so much better than my first which was a disaster due to both of us being head cases.
Are some of the practical items, things that she can realistically do? My wife has RA and can't do much really. So, I know I have to help her out for 90% of stuff. But, if she's able-bodied, she can do fair share. Marriage is 50/50. I give 50, my wife gives 50.
Is she asking you to do things she just thinks you should do (as if maybe you're not doing them)? If so, ask your conscience, should you really be doing more (play with son for example)? If yes, then consider doing it with no hard feelings. But, if no and you think you're doing right, it's none of her business but there's no need to get into a fight over it. Just let it lie. She'll respect you for that. Women are strange like that. Learn how to take advantage of that by not reacting to it. This is a way they test you and they don't even know they're doing it.
Also, some advice (take it fwiw brother and I know you're just letting off some steam), try not to think your wife is being slick or someone is trying to work against you. She's probably genuinely concerned. Your job is not to fix her and it's not her job to try to fix you either.
God bless.

Unless I am almost completely incapacitated, I will never ask her, or anyone else for that matter, to do something for me that I can do myself.
Her on the other hand...
We can be both sitting down relaxing and reading, then "can you get me this?", "can you go grab that?". I can't believe I haven't snapped yet.
