I was hoping someone could help me with this...

Well I'm not sure if I broke the DB rules but it felt right.

This past weekend was mine with the kids. My wifes car broke down on Friday and she wouldn't have a car all weekend so she was stuck at her house, and I know that drives her nuts.

On Saturday my son had his cub scouts Pine Wood derby race and I was going to go pick her up if he did well...He was consistent (last in all four races) but he had fun. We, me my S and D, thought going to a movie on Sunday would be fun, so we decided to go see Hotel for Dogs (good show btw).

Well Saturday night my W calls to say goodnight to the kids and like always we talk for awhile and I can tell she is stressed by not being able to run errands like she normally does and she asks me if she can borrow my car when I drop off the kids, sure no problem.

Well and here's where I'm not sure I did the right thing, I called her back and asked if she wanted to go to the movies with us. She said what I thought she'd say, "can I think about it". Sure told her I'd call her in the morning.

I call and she said she is going to pass, which I was sort of expecting, so I say ok, I'm going to check the movie times and let you know latter when I'll be over with the kids. Then comes well what do you think I should do...I tell her it's not my choice whatever you want you're not going to hurt my feelings by not going (all said in a very nice laughing way). Then she asks what do the kids want, well I didn't tell the kids because of course they would want you to go and I didn't want to put that pressure on you...Finally W says ok I'll go, I said are you sure it's really not a big deal. Says yes...

After the movie I took her to the drugstore then the grocery store...The only way it could have been better is if she would have invited me to stay for dinner but it's probably better since I would have had to say no.

So was asking her to go to the movies breaking DB rules?


On a side not the theater was PACKED and a guy sitting next to my wife and a guy behind her got into a fight (hitting) over seats...I couldn't believe it.
