I'm single, things will get done when they get done.
My garage is more important then kitchen or bathroom remodeling.

We are hunter gatherers not frigging domestic aids.
Men get a women hoping she won't ever change
Women on the other hand want to change men.

It's obvious that your wife has trained you
Must be some psychological trickery or pavlov reaction involved where you she got your subconscience fearing her return
When she's around you are simply awaiting instructions

Think about it. How does she punish you if you aren't keeping busy?
Hold out?
nag?
destroy your things?
slap a news paper on yer nose?
electroshocks on yer nuts?

Or maybe it's subliminal... while you sleep. You don't even know it.
Sleep with one eye open bud. You'll see

Watch some Malcolm in the Middle , there are loads of techniques for manipulation demonstrated in that show
