Unfortunatley, I'm thinking again.

My wife called to tell me she made it home OK. She thanked me again for helping her out. I said "my pleasure", and what I think I heard her say (not in words but in tone) was "yes, I'm sure you think I'll just fall in love with you because you brought me gas, when it was probably your fault I ran out of gas anyway".

I shouldn't read negative intentions into her words without proof, but I feel I'm much more sensitive to tone and non verbal communication than I was.

I can just let it go, smile, but I want to tell her that I didn't expect anything in return, and she should give me credit for doing something nice without any strings attached.

I know, I should keep my mouth shut. Please, someone,tell me that so I don't open my mouth.
thanks
