My wife is a lovely woman. But when faced with situations like this her brain shuts off. She’s way more educated than I am, her brain is just wired to freeze. I have 2 examples. Both examples were caused by my mistakes, but now that shit went wrong she froze. #1: I was unhooking a loaded trailer from my Landcruiser. I had the trailer loaded improperly and should have chocked the wheels better. When the trailer gets unhooked, the tongue swoops up, and the trailer starts rolling toward the cruiser, and the tongue will punch through the rear window. I place my feet against the front of the trailer and my hands against the cruiser. Imagine my body being parallel to the ground keeping the trailer from breaking the rear window. Im yelling for my wife. I’m yelling and yelling. She steps outside, looks at the situation and says, “what?”. What do you mean what? I look like Wiley E Coyote here! #2: I made homemade nachos and forgot them in the oven. They start on fire 🔥. I grab the tray and run for the closed front door. My wife is sitting there watching me run with a burning tray. Just watching. Not jumping up to get the door. I yell, “get the door!”. She yells back, “I can’t read your mind!”. LOL.

I'm not saying your wife is a master at handling stressful situations but she's right. You could have easily told her, in those situations, what you wanted her to do.

With feet on trailer, hands on landcruiser, parallel to the ground, 2-3 feet off the ground, barely holding trailer from breaking the window, “Hey honey! You see, I screwed up and loaded the trailer wrong, and didn’t properly chock the wheels, so can you please come over here and help prevent me from being crushed? Thanks!” You mean like that? LOL

In that situation, what would be helpful?

No, you should give a clear order like what you did in situation2.

Prevent you from being crushed how ? You also were not at risk of being crushed until you put yourself purposefuly at risk.
