mac - all she did was ask and you did anyway after what you decided yesterday and even told her clearly?
how is she really going to see that?
you need to be consistent and stand by what you say. it's not enough to say it and then less than 24 hrs later do the exact opposite.
and your behavior is seriously passive aggressive here. you buy her smokes and leave her a note, THEN you find out what a [censored] thing she did about the vet call and so you tear up the note and take the smokes away.
that's p/a behavior all the way.
i would seriously think about how you are going to "tell it to her face". just the phrase itself makes me shudder.
it wasn't nice at all what she did - and i can see why you are so pissed - i'm pissed and i don't even know the dog. but your reactionary stance is not going to help you reach your goals
btw - what are your goals/intentions here? do you know?
from where i'm standing they are either 1. looking very mixed up or 2. seem to be propelling you towards doing some really goofy things here.
if you give ANY indication during this time to your wife that you are going to say one thing and possibly do another you are going to lose ALL YOUR CREDIBILITY.
capiche??
is serenity incommunicado because she's on her way to personally whack you? i hope so!!
please apply the 48 hr rule here before saying anything to her - or at least several hours
