LTU 5 yeah, I did it too.

I would suggest that the goal being to joke it off, in any way, is not the right goal. The goal is, in my opinion, to develop enough strength and self esteem to calmly, but firmly, point out to your wife that her actions are unreasonable and unfair, and that you don't deserve to be treated that way and simply will not be. That she will treat you with the consideration and respect you deserve, as a person and a husband, or there will be a change that forces that.

This is not my relationship, but that's what I would do. Simply accepting bad treatment is never the right option, in my opinion.
