That's a little different than a date! She made plans to play a game with people, it wouldn't be any different if she had made plans to go to bingo with her mother. Don't you think its a little selfish of you to call her and tell her to drop what she is doing because YOU decided that you and her were going out? Its customary to ask someone if they want to go out, wife or not. Why do you think that because YOU decided something she MUST go along with it. She is her own person you know and is entitled to make her own decisions like any other grown person is. You think you did something that you thought she should think was nice so you are offended that she didn't....did you see how many times YOU was int that sentence? Doing something nice for or with someone is supposed to be about them, not you, at the very least they should be considered equally in it. Quit being such a child, she is your wife not your property.

I should probably preface this by saying I'm divorced, so maybe my advice isn't the best for the man who is trying to hold together a marriage. Having said that, I'd wait till the day after, tell her not to bother you that night because, after all, you have plans that take a priority over the marriage, then walk over to the computer and start dry humping the moniter. Put on some soft music....flowers maybe open a bottle of wine. You could even take some KY Jelly and put it next to the computer. Play the whole thing out like some ridiculous romance, and maybe she'll get the point that she's being goofy herself. I've found that sometimes well placed sarcasm can be beneficial in a relationship :-) And even if it isn't, sometimes it's a good way to deal with your anger.

First of all, I would be thrilled if my husband made plans with me because I never got outta my house. All I have is this freaking computer....However a gameroom doesn't really count as a chat date in my opinion. It sounds like online gambling. It doesn't make it any less insulting...I would say WTF too but it sounds like she enjoys it...maybe you should give her more advanced notice when you want to make plans to go out in case these games are done on specific nights. You sound like a nice guy...pat on the back for trying to take your wife out.

So, why isn't she interested in going out for quality time with you? Ask her what's so special about the people she don't know about that's interfering with what you want. That computer isn't going anywhere, and those so call friends or people will be there too. On the other hand, you may not, just so you know is the way you need to relay this to her for it to make an impact.

Man, it really sounds like your trying your best. Tell her to do as you say or you will be disconnecting the Internet services at home. You pay the bills you run the house.

That's sad - she has her priorities out of whack. Or did you want to take her to a monster truck tourney?
Instead of getting mad, let her know that it actually hurt your feelings and that you were looking forward to being with her and want to be with her. Court her, perhaps, instead of calling her and ordering up a date.

You aren't home asking her that same question? Order in. Sit behind her and look over her shoulder the entire time.
