[quote=Anonymous]Today around lunch time I left the house to get a haircut. I drove over something sharp and got a flat tire. I was on the side of the road with traffic whizzing by and I was able to get the donut on. I called DW to let her know and she just told me to find the cheapest fix possible (she is extremely frugal and does not like spending money). I looked for the tires at Costco/Mr. Tire/Tire Rack but since they're 20" wheels the tires would be special order and we'd be without our only for car 5-10 days. I called the dealership nearby and they had the tire in stock and could price match Tire Rack. I dropped the car off and since they were out of loaners I had to take a shuttle and Metro home. I was texting my DW periodically with updates. Overall this "**** happens" incident took up my entire afternoon and I didn't even get the hair cut I drove out for.

When I get home I go to the fridge to pour a glass of seltzer and a snack and my wife comes over and one of the first things she says is "I would really appreciate if you could apologize to me". She explained she was upset and hurt because of the cost (~$500 for 2 low profile SUV tires). I apologized in the moment but I got really frustrated with this. She picked up on my frustration and it escalated into an argument. I just wasted 4 hrs of my afternoon dealing with this and rather than giving me space for a bit and calmly approaching the subject of how she's unhappy about having to spend money all she could do is immediately come over and demand I apologize to her. I try to be patient and understanding but I feel like my wife has an unhealthy relationship with money and nagging.[/quote]
