I crawled into bed last night and all was fine. Wife then decided to hit me up for a wedding this weekend. I said I didn't want to go. I don't know either the bride or the groom -- never even laid EYES on them. We know the parents of the groom. I'm cynical enough to believe that only a few people that are invited to any wedding actually matter if they show up or not and many invitations are just gift solicitations. No problem, we got them a gift. Wife says she wants to go, so I suggest she go (alone).
Then it starts -- "you never do stuff like this with me". Okay, name one... some Christmas dinner that I was apparantly invited to that I either didn't know about or it was a "spouses are allowed" thing. It was a Mary Kay business meeting as far as I was concerned. I explained that I go back to see her family several times per year and she goes even more often than that. Well, she then just rolls over and starts crying. That goes on for a few minutes, then she gets up and goes to sleep with the baby (queen sized bed for the baby). This morning, I go in there and crawl in bed next to the baby. The wife wakes up long enough to roll away from me.
Okay, I have no problem with marital arguments -- they happen. But how can I fight when she refuses to fight fair.. .crying, taking her toys and leaving, and just ignoring me isn't the way to resolve anything.
Tell me I'm right... or close to right.
