I mean, Maruja is a pejorative way to mention a housewife.
This leads me lean towards Q's observation and think Pepe is like someone who acts like a child. I couldn't find the definition of maruja but I bet it's something like bruja. Therefore: Each day you seem to act more and more like a child. And he had his own choice words in reply.
Sorry, Yesero. In a previous answer I defined what "Pepe" means. And it doesn't have to do with "a child".
This was my answer.
Un Pepe = an ordinary man in his marriage.
This is the way to say that you are too ordinary and normal.
If you look up the word "Maruja" in the dictionary, you will find: housewife. But, in fact, what he wants to say is not that. Actually, he wants to say that she is a too normal housewife. He pretends to offend the other person. And when the wife says: you are a Pepe, she wants to say: you are a too normal husband. More or less.

Hmmmm, first time hearing those particular words grouped together... I am fairly sure the phrase "estar hecho un..." means = to be a total, to be in a state of total, as in the following example:
El cuarto está hecho un desastre => The room is a total disaster.
Now are you pretty sure you heard "Pepe" which is the nickname for José? The closest thing I could come up with that is remotely close is the Spanish verb, "pepenar" which has various meanings, but lent itself to the following sayings:
"agarrar con las manos en la masa, coger con las manos en la masa, coger en flagrante," based on the "catch" portion of its meaning...
