I can see this. Husband empties dishwasher, puts everything in wrong place.. argument erupts.. same with laundry

I hate to say you are on to something, but it does seem every time I do one of these chores instead of quiet appreciation I generally get a stern lecture about how I effed it all up.

BINGO! Some of the worst fights I’ve ever had with my wife is over how I clean the house. Finally, I said screw it and hired some cleaning help. My wife has been relatively pleased with the help but I’m still responsible for the end result.
