PSA for the Guys

If you're upset about something, for the love of Pete: TELL US.
That tight, pouty tone of voice and eyes cutting down and to the right are dead giveaways, and most men are notoriously bad liars. You're not fooling anyone, ESPECIALLY YOUR WIFE.
It's the kind of thing that could probably be cleared up in 0.5 seconds, if you would only open up your piehole and enunciate what the trouble is. Expecting us to instinctively know what the problem is and take steps to fix it (or leave it alone) only happens on asinine shows like Everybody Loves Raymond or The World According to Jim. (And skinny, beautiful blondes marrying fat, balding jerks is also a contrivance.)
Your wife will thank you, trust me.
ETA: And if your wife guesses what the problem is, do not LIE AGAIN and make it an issue of time rather than your own lazy ass. *rabid frothing*
