Can you please check tenses in this sentence:
When my husband does the ironing, a tiny vein protrudes on his forehead. Not that he complains, far from it. But something tells me that his next wife, whatever she is like, will iron flat out.
I wonder should it be:
...But something is telling me that his next wife whatever she would be like, would iron flat out.
