As a man it is important to assume responsibility in all situations. Do not deflect responsibility or place blame elsewhere. You should be able to draw all failures back to yourself, take ownership, learn from the situation, and move forward. Your wife does not want to solve your problems for you and does not want to hear your complaints about work, money, etc. These things will stress her out and then make her resentful if she has to be the one to provide solutions to your problems.
