help with a plan

[pigskin]

Here's a short insight to how my W thinks nowdays-

She called me on the way to work saying the van had a flat tire. She meant to tell me yesterday but forgot. (Kind of hard to tell me something when she doesn't speak to me. :o)She asked me if I wanted her to take the wheel off and have it fixed. I asked if she needed the van the next couple of days, she said not she could take the truck if she needed to go somewhere. I said I would take the wheel off tonight and take it in to work and fix it myself. She said wouldn't it be cheaper to take it to such and such in town to fix it? I said we have had him fix tires before and he is going to charge you $25.00, I am going to do it for free. Unless you need the van, I will do it tomorrow. She said, I don't even know why I called, and hung up.

God, my patience is running thin.

I'm sorry, I've got to disagree with everyone. Do you want to have to spend the rest of your life worrying about responding in a very common sense, practical manner?

You fix = free. Wife fix = $25. Wife has alternate transportation so van tire is not imperative at all. Obviously not even an issue to wife since she forgot to even tell you about it for a day.

Do you want to walk through your marriage on eggshells? Your wife's irritated response is just like my own. "Sorry honey, that my completely rational answer that would be accepted by anyone not in an affair and looking for the slightest reason to be annoyed by me so as to justify her looking outside the marriage is not acceptable to you."
