First things first. My wife and I have been married for four years. We hardly every have a disagreement let alone an argument. Quite copasetic.
A couple times a year she and an old girlfriend or two go to a seafood place for drinks and dinner and she invited me along. I absolutely detest seafood, but I know I can get a burger or something so what the heck I go.
I work a slightly different schedule than she so I go home, feed the pets, hang out for a bit and then drive back into town (15 miles) to meet at the restaurant. Hmm, she’s not there. We are both nuts about being prompt but I can’t find her in the restaurant. Oh well, I’ll get a table by the door so I see her when she comes in.
Turns out she was there all the time. Back on an obscure outside deck that you have to know about to find. I have been to this restaurant once before so I’m clueless about the deck. I wait for forty minutes constantly checking the entrance and start getting worried. Although she did call home to see if I did not come, she did not look around the restaurant for me except for the first time she came in (turns out she came in about 5 mins. before I did - told ya we where prompt).
I was watching the front door so I didn’t see any sense in searching the restaurant again. I might have found the deck if I did so I guess that’s an oops on my part.
I finally found her at the bar ordering a drink to take out on the deck (the deck was actually closed to service because it had been raining).
Here’s the final kick in the head. I was about to order my burger and asked what she was going to have. She wasn’t hungry, they had a big meeting at work and some people brought food so she ate there.
I know she wanted me to come. I even offered to stay home and clean because we where having company the next day (wish I had). She said she would prefer that I come if I wanted to.
I did bring this up with her and she apologized. But I swear, I don’t think she understands why I’m a little miffed.
Am I outa line here?
