I was at the local mall with my wife, who frankly is a little too tall. Anyway, she has brought Jesus Christ into our household, and for that I am always grateful. She is a great tickler.
Sorry, I digress.
We were at the mall and walked past a sporting goods store. I saw a brand new golf club that would just have been a fantastic addition to my club set.
However, the only credit card either of us had on that trip was with my wife. I asked her to let me have the card, and she refused!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then she said something about clothes for the kids, blah blah blah. The kids get all of the attention! What about me?
Basically, the weekend was ruined. Every time she started talking to me about anything after that golf club purchase refusal incident, I started to choke up. She did ask once what was wrong, and I told her that if she didn't know, then she didn't deserve to know.
Should I wait for her to apologize, or should I take the first step and ask for an apology?

It's really hard for me not to get emotional when I read how your wife betrays you.
Everyday day you are here poring your heart out.
You are so brave to face these feelings the way you do.
Hopefully she will see the errors of her ways and do the right thing.
She has a great man,I just hope she sees that before it's too late.

Is this a joke? How could not getting a golf club bring you to tears? You sound like a spoiled child. Goodness, apologize for acting like a baby and go to the mall tomorrow and buy the golf club with your own credit card.

Who is the bread winner in your family? And you seem to have more then just a golf club bothering you, Are you depressed? Yes, children need cloths and if money is tight , well you wouldn't spend it on things that weren't necessary. Now, you know your circumstance better then I do, but , if it turns out, she's the one that supporting the family, you owe her an apology . And get some help for your depression.

What should she apologize for? Your sulking? (I am seriously doubting the validity of this story.)
Here's my answer: YOU should be a man and apologize to your wife for being self centered. Explain to her why you are angry and then you two can talk about it. That is of course after she is done laughing at you.
Clothes for your kids vs. a golf club? Pathetic. There is a reason why clothes are exempt from sales taxes as a necessity and golf clubs are not.
Next time bring your wallet when you go shopping.

you sound like a child. when you have children, their needs should supersede your own. if you didn't want to give your kids attention perhaps you shouldn't have had them. it's too late now.
second, the "if you don't know what's wrong then you don't deserve to know" sounds like something a woman would say. why should she be a mind reader? oh, yes i know., because everything should be about YOU. if you can't vocalize why you were hurt cause you're too busy crying and choking on tears then you are just adding to your own misery. tell her you were hurt and why. she will likely apologize on her own.
her intention isn't to make your life hell but to make sure your kids are properly cared for. maybe you should spend some time thinking about how lucky you are to have a spouse who cares so much about the children you share.

I happen to think that you are being a bit sensitive about this, however I don't know what your finances look like. Could you afford to buy the kids clothes and buy the club? is she just refusing you the purchase to show control over you or is this a legitimate reason?

The fact that you feel like crying, sounds to me that your wife has one more kid in the family. Sorry dear, you should talk to her instead of sulking!! Find a compromise to the situation, agree on finances and spending before hand, rather than being shocked at the shop!! Don't get emotional, stay rational and make a point so she will take you seriously, good luck!

Ok...see this is what's wrong with some men (not all but some). Stop whining! If your kids needed new clothes, their needs should always come first before your own. Do you know how old my wardrobe is because my kids needs are more important than mine? I feel guilty when I get anything for me because it should go for my kids.
She doesn't need to apolgize for wanting to take care of your kids. You should be ashamed for acting so selfish.
