OK - here's the deal. I need wives in good solid marriages to tell me if this is irrational or not:
I came home from work to find my wife "go-karting" my new $5k mower around in our 4 acre yard that I've painstakingly groomed and worked. It looks like ass. She even attempted a few hydroplanes through standing water. Then she ran the mower over to my shop and left it there dripping in mud and completely dry of gas. Not happy. So I get my mower back into shape and proceed to remow it the next day - I had to - she left so many places just unmowed - she figured I could get to it later. Did I mention the yard was rutted and scalped? Besides the tire tracks, it looked like drunken shriners had a kart session on my turf. (mind you, I said NOTHING negative, but thanked her for the help)
OK - she meant to save me some time, but it cost me another tank of gas and a few more hours of my time. She was furious with me that I remowed the whole thing. (irrational?) We seem to have gotten over it. The neighbors came by the next day and asked who "farmed" our yard. They laughed and joked - I said nothing but took a glass full of water over my head - just for being there I imagine.
So a week passes - she mentions it to my mom. They laugh. I laugh (wrong!). I happen to mention I had to take a couple of pictures of it before I fixed it because no one would believe the horror. Uh oh.... so now we're into day 7 of her being a complete bad person to me. Says stuff about how I lost her trust . Crimony, you'd think I slept with her sister the way she is acting about this.
Lesson I learned: Don't embarrass your wife. No matter how funny and HARMLESS you might think it is.
I've apologized profusely, but enough is enough. It's a fuggin yard and a couple of snapshots of drunken shriner tracks!
So is she being irrational or am I a completely insensitive ass and just not getting it
?
