The upshot is I feel used and dirty and she gets out of some house hold task she hates

I hear ya. I suggest a voice recorder. It won't help (will probably make her madder, women hate facts :P), but you'll feel better deep down knowing you were right. Even if you're right, sleeping on the couch. ;D

10 years of marriage has taught me that their are very few things it is critical to feel right about on the couch

I could walk up to nearly any man and tell him that story about my wife and, unless he was psychotic or had never dated in his life, chanced are that he would laugh. He wouldn't laugh because he knows me as an individual but because he's probably been through the same thing to some degree. Notice the Jeff Foxworthy quote above. Theres a reason its funny. Theres a reason Foxworthy can deliver that line with a crowd of men and women and get a laugh. Because the audience can relate it to their lives and experiences.

Try it in Ireland, in Germany and in Indonesia and it won't get the same response. Social consturcts, nothing more, and social constructs are our choices and therefore our responsibilities, which is why I get a bit hot under the collar to see the ones we happen to have now reinforced as if they were a) unalterable and b) positive.
