Before taking my wife to work, I asked her if she needed any money to get drinks and/or snacks while she was at work. She said no, even after asking a second time to reassure that she didn't want any money. After dropping her off, on the way to my job, I stopped to get a cup of coffee. Later, while picking my wife up, she stated she was hungry. I stated that I was hungry too and that the only thing I had all day was the coffee from that morning. Now my wife is calling me selfish because I used the money I offered her (yet she refused) to buy myself a coffee. She said that I didn't think of her and that she expected me to bring her a coffee as well, even though she can't have drinks while working. She then changed her story about refusing the money, saying that she didn't say no to the money, only to the example I gave of possibly using it to buy a soda or snack while on her break.

Before buying my self anything, I offered her the $, so am I really being selfish here?

No child/parent issues here... LOL. I was just offering her the only cash I had in my pocket. We both have debit cards that could've been used to buy whatever she needed or get cash at an atm. She chose not to bring her card with her either.

No your not but next time just give her the money and say here's some money, get yourself something to eat, or ask her if you can get here anything she wants. Give her someting after work (someting to snack on the way home) she'll appreciate it.

Ahhhhh...one of those women who just looooove to look for an argument. Even when there wasn't anything initially they sit all day and turn things around in their minds so by the time she sees you its all your goddamn fault.

Next time make it simple...offer her nothing. In addition...keep your days events to a minimum or simply don't discuss it. Can't argue when you don't talk. By offering the semi-silent treatment you'll find this will make her livid. Only because you refuse to rise to the bait.

If she persists....then she needs a good swift kick. granted you can't do that but you can always tell her that you don't care to discuss it because when she does what she did today it distances you from her. Now you feel apathetic and really have a hard time mustering any love or affection for her. After all...how can you when someone is rotten to you. Then go in the next room and proceed to drink beer or ignore her for the rest of the night.

If anything she'll storm off and leave you to some peace and quiet.

Is your wife a CHILD and are you the PARENT who must control the money and dole it out to her? If both of you work, you should each be able to have your own money for snacks & coffee. I've never heard of anything so silly in my life.

I am sorry but your wife sounds like she is the one being selfish. She needs to wake up and smell the COFFEE.....you were offering the money to her and if she did not take it then what can she say. It was her fault for not accepting it.

I don't think so. Maybe you just caught her in a bad mood after a bad day?
