My W just left the house and got extremely angry with me. We had been getting along fine in each other's company but she just asked for some cash to go and I gave her a weird look. She took it the wrong way and stormed out. I tried to give her the money and she threw it at me. I didn't do a good job of DB but I did finally walk away. A month ago I would have called or texted her by now but I'll just let it go. Needless to say, I have a pit in my stomach and feel nauseous. Any progress I may have been making just took several giant steps back.
You are catastrophising. You are seeing the worst in everything. Calm down!
The biggest question here, is why does she have to ask you for money? Doesn’t she have access to all your accounts? If she does but she had just run out of cash, then it’s completely okay for her to ask for some cash if you have some on you.
Best answer: Yeah no dramas babe, take what you want, but leave me $100 because I’m going to a bar tomorrow night. You need to be home to watch the kids.
Not texting her is an EXCELLENT choice. Well done! Don’t get embroiled in her toys out the pram BS.
Women test men by seeing if they’ll be an emotional rock.
Option 1 - apologise, be worried she’s angry, try to give her cash, get upset when she throws it at you, message after to apologise - WEAK AND UNATTRACTIVE man
Option 2 - be cool, let her take some cash, if she goes full cray cray and starts throwing it, just ignore and be unintimidated - STRONG AND ATTRACTIVE man
You did fine. Stop being scared of a little teenage girl having a tantrum!
Pit in your stomach and nauseous? Why? Feelings are temporary. Tomorrow she probably won’t even remember what happened.
Do you know how many marriages were decided or broken on how one partner gave one weird look to the other on one occasion? NONE. It’s not nearly the big issue you are making it out to be.
And you know what - if someone leaves you because you looked at them weirdly, is that really someone you want to be married to?
