It may not be about you doing things better. It may be about control. she tells you you can't "do it right" (and you accept it), then she's the authority. She owns the laundry, and all other chores. Why would anybody in their right mind want to own the laundry chores? Good question. They wouldn't. But I think there's an agenda being played out here -- maybe one inherited from her mother, maybe not. She's going to own the house, you're going to do things there her way. Is it partnership? No. Is it going to bring you closer together? Probably not. But it _is_ all about her controlling you by pitching a bitch every time you try to assert yourself around the house. You may want to think about this, where it's going, and why.
Do spouses change each other in good ways? Absolutely. But what about this seems good, or even reasonable?
