Last night was interesting. My wife had bought me some clothes for my birthday that were nice but not really what I wanted. She said if I don't like them that I could take them back. I told her I would like to exchange them and then she proceeeds to say that she does not understand why. She said I have been buying your clothes for all these years and now you don't like what I buy you. Maybe I should not buy clothes for you anymore.
I told her I always like the clothes she has bought me but I have alot that look like these and just want something different.
She then says that I can buy my own clothes if I want to and since I have been going to the mall and Kohls so much lately it seems strange for a guy who only ever went shopping three to four times a year. She wanted to know why I was there again on Monday night.
I told her I was there to look at stuff for work and clothes. Actually she wants a silver watch for her b-day and I was looking for that but I could not tell her that. And when I am vague she just keeps pressing me for why I was there. Its hard to deflect these questions, I am going to just say from now on that I am going into the office.
I also told her the reason I am shopping so much is that I needed to get nicer clothes for my new job because all I wore at the last job was jeans and a polo and now I want to look nicer and that requires me to shop more.
I told her I was sorry for upsetting her but she said she wasn't. We talked for about another half hour and then I went to bed.
I still felt bad this morning so after I took a shower she was in bed and said morning. I told her I was sorry for hurting her feelings last night and that I always liked the clothes she bought for me.
She said I did not and "you worry to much honey, take them back and get what you want."
I told her to have a good day and left for work.
I am just not sure if I should have just said I really like them and been done with it or if telling her the truth was better. Hopefully the latter and her feelings really are not hurt because that is not what I wanted to do.
