If it were me:
  1. She bought this antque vanity that she wanted to repaint.

    I'd say, "Take it back it ain't worth the trouble."
That's pretty much the end of it!

My wife would do it herself or have it done. Good woman.

your wife into multi partner marriages;) ?
I am in MO right now. When I get back I'll ask her. Or her boyfriend if I see him first.

She bought this antque vanity that she wanted to repaint. I agree to help her (mistake 1).

Day 1. She begins to strip paint, but she does not let the stripper sit long enough. I tell her to let it sit for atleast 20 min, she gets mad and says no. Knowing how much she will bitch and moan if this vanity comes out like crap, I take matters into my own hands and strip the paint off my self the right way by letting it sit (mistake 2).

Day 2. We begin to put primer on. she keeps globbing the thing on like it is paint resultng in a non smooth surface. I tell her to stop and do it right (mistake 3), she gets mad.

Day 3. I buy sand paper to sand it down. Works well, so we begin to paint. She keeps haggling me on how i am not painting right by saying i am using too much paint. Mean while, she paints and you can still see the dam primer. I then comment that she should use more paint (big mistake 4). She then argues with me about how i have no idea what I am doing. I argue back (mistake 5) and then come here (mistake 6???).

WTH, how can she claim I am doing something wrong when she has never done anything like this before while i have done this millions of times?

You screwed up royally. :)

1) You must never "talk down" to her and make her feel stupid or ignorant through the tone of your voice.

2) You must never show her the correct way to do something. Let her do it wrong then you can "support" her when it didn't work right.

3) You must never tell her/imply that she is wrong.

4) When she is wrong, you must tell her in a way that she figures it out on her own while making yourself look like an idiot.

5) No matter what happens, tell her you love her and she is pretty.

Yeah, treat her like a little retarded girl who's on the rag.

Why should he make himself seem like an idiot when she's too retarded and stubborn to realize that she doesn't know what she's doing?

To get the nookie. She has what he wants. If she isn't happy, he doesn't get what he wants. Keep her happy.

And lose ALL self-respect in the process. Right.
