My wife is upset with me?

Think about it, you were gone a long time and she made you a nice dinner thinking you were going to spend the night with her being you haven't seen her in a long time. She doesn't feel appreciated by you, things don't take the place of time spent that you can never get back, she felt that you didn't miss her and missed your friends more and you can't blame her for that. She's being passive/aggressive by not telling you how she feels, it's not about the car, it's about your not wanting to be with her. She doesn't feel valued. You need to apologize to her, tell her you were wrong because you were and promise to do better and spend more quality time with her. Take her out to dinner, a drive, whatever she likes to do, just the two of you. Things are just things, while it's nice you booked a spa for her, your time is what she really wants. Be careful because if you keep it up, you will have nothing but time on your hands after she leaves you.

You said you had already made plans to go see friends? Why? That is what I would like to know. Do you know every time you leave, she gets upset and may not tell you because she would not want to upset you? Do you not think your wife missed you? Are you 2 not talking to each other as much as you possibly can when your gone?

Buying her stuff is not going to fix this. You think you can buy her off? Sorry, but she is important and your important to her. I would cancel plans you made with your friends immediately and take your wife into your arms and show her how much you missed her. That will mean so much more than you buying her crap.

Be a little more considerate, but if you've already booked the "spa thing," isn't that enough to say "I'm sorry"?

It's good you're trying to fix all this instead of getting mad about her reacting to it all.

I agree family is first. My live in bf is a inspector and travels for work. Right now hes on a 2 month trip. I am always first not friends. You can do better than that. But the cereal things thats mean. You were working hard wtf.

well if my husband was just now coming back in town and the first people he wanted to see was his friends, and not his wife and kids i would be upset too; gifts and money are not everything!

SMH!!! Your wife wants your time and you keep trying to spend money to make her happy!!! I see why she cheats on you when your gone!! You do not pay her any attention when you are there!!! you just try to buy her off like a cheap hooker!!

Take time off, giving your wife your time is all she wants and needs. Save it by giving her your presence!

You cant keep spoiling her, thats not love.

Please, your work situationg slightly fits with my question, so if you can please read it and answer it :) /question/index?qid=20140...
