Pretty much every sitcom I watched growing up had that problem. It's the reason why I make sure my wife tells me, or understands I am not psychic.

My favorite time was in Home Improvement when Jill is starting to work on her Masters thesis, and take a lot more control of her life. She gets angry at people, and has to learn to calm down. At one point she realizes she is angry because she never actually told Tim about her plans, and he asked for forgiveness because that's how it usually happened. It took a few episodes, but she started to apologize and view her husband in a new light afterwards. The show that was basically the creator of "Men are Dumb" the Comedy, also had the answer to it.
