AITA for always guessing when my wife asks me to guess?

Yeah, you see, your example just seems to be more controlling nonsense. "I'm allowed to bad mouth my friends, but if you do it too in an attempt to sympathize I'll tell you to shut up?"

If I have to listen to you complain about something day in and day out, and not be allowed to respond or actually do anything to help solve that recurring issue, I would start fleeing the room the second you open your mouth.

That is not healthy in the least, and if that's your idea of an ideal relationship, uh...

You don't seem to be looking for a partner here with emotions, foibles of their own, and initiative; you're looking for a dummy to vent all your negative feelings at, and it may surprise you to know that most people aren't into that kind of thing.
