Hi Dan,
Your wife is creating an issue out of your help because of the delay you make in coming to help her. As a woman your wife wants her household work to be complete without any leftover work. When you delay and dither, your wife is not sure whether you will really help her in her work. So, she does the work you promised to do. And in her anger for your delay your wife might sound irritable and annoyed.
But if you had been prompt in helping your wife, she would definitely have appreciated your help.
Why do you want to delay helping your wife?
Your instant help would have made her relaxed that all the work is done with.
And suppose you do not help her, the delayed work meant some more hours of slogging.

That all well and fine, but why do the wives sometimes have this “right now”, “immediately” attitude about it. Why does this stuff faze them more? There have been times when I have been perfectly fine with doing my share, but if she notices it, she has to beat me to it, and do it right away, and I am guilt tripped for not doing something, not that I’m unwilling to do it, I just don’t see the harm in waiting on somethings. I’ve even offered to do things, said, “I would have done that.”, but it’s like a timer has been set. Maybe I need to give her specific times when I’ll do whatever it is. But I just wish that I could be trusted to do it , when I say I will. On the occasions where I said I’d do something, without her making an issue out of it, I always have.
