We went shopping for some clothes after lunch yesterday because I need some work shirts for winter. After finding some shirts and trying them on, my wife freaked out because she thought she lost her cell phone.

I had her retrace her steps. She says she had it in the store when trying on a jacket. I called her phone and walked all over the store. Texted her phone to have someone turn it in. Re-traced her steps to find it, but no luck.

She got pissed and wanted to leave. I said, why don't we look some more? Unfortunately, shes on her period.........she was being childish and decided. Fine! I'm walking home. (sigh....... why me......)


I put the clothes back that I was going to buy and leave the store to go fetch her.

I open the car door and I see her cell phone in the seat!!!! wtf!!! I had asked her if her phone was in the car and she said NO!

After several attempts to pick her up on the side of the road she reluctantly gets in the car and we go home in silence. /crickets


The funny thing is, people saw me trying to pick her up and they felt sorry for her, as if I had done something wrong.

20 years of marriage and I still put up with crap like this.


I know if I had been drinking at all, even 1 beer. This could have blown up into a much bigger problem.
Every time I decide someone I'm arguing with is irrational or childish, it turns out that I'm equally as irrational and childish (at best). I am continually having to make amends to my wife for matching her irrationality with my own. She doesn't have a program of recovery, I do, so I have less of an excuse.

Congratulations on 10 days!!! It does improve on your ability to not make things worse, no?
