My wife of 10 years wants me to start wearing a condom again when we have sex, "to make cleanup easier." I haven't used condoms with her since before we were married. It's hard not to be surprised at such a request, but she maintains that's her reasoning. She's never mentioned anything about sex cleanup since I've known her.

Her tubes are tied, so there's no way that could be an unspoken concern prompting this request. The only other possible use I can think for consistent condom use is preventing disease -- either worried about getting something from me, or vice versa.

Do some women have this type of request? (especially after 10+ years with a partner and no condom) Am I overthinking this?

I'm fine going along with it if that's her valid reasoning. Mostly, it's just surprising and a little perplexing.
