Today, my wife and I got in a 4-hour heated argument which resulted in her begging for a divorce and admitting that she cheated on me. This all started with us arguing about the instructions for our new IKEA table. FML

Today, my wife and I had an argument serious enough to end our marriage, while overseas on vacation, with my whole family present. Three more days of awkward tension until we get to fly home and it all ends. FML

Today, my wife told me that she wants a divorce. Apparently, I'm taking too long to forgive her for having an affair. FML

Today, I had an argument with my wife. I told her to get back in the kitchen. How does she respond? By doing what I told her to do, and returning to hit me with a frying pan. FML

Today, my wife and I had one of the biggest arguments we've ever had, which resulted in her leaving, going to her parents' house and calling me twice, screaming and sobbing. The argument was over a seven dollar bottle of wine. Apparently, she was "saving it for a special occasion." FML

Today, my wife and I had a fight, which I thought we resolved. Later, while painting the kitchen, I told her to change into an old shirt she didn't care about. She made a huge show of putting her wedding gown on, veil and all. FML

Today, my wife and I have been fighting for two days straight. We haven’t talked all day. It all started with me asking where to park. FML

Today, my wife screamed, cried, called me lazy and a bad parent, and threatened to leave and take our four kids. All I did was ask for an hour to myself every day for some private time. FML

Today, my wife and I had a huge fight. I was getting ready to go to sleep on the couch when she came downstairs and grabbed a very large metal spoon. I'm afraid to go to sleep. FML

Today, my wife and I got into an argument. She ran out, yelling. Later, at work, I felt guilty, so I picked up some flowers and a card. When I presented them to her, she looked puzzled. I made the mistake of reminding her about our argument. She is now mad at me, again. FML

I think it could have been anything...you both had it coming...table just turned out to be a reason...though that's a great advertising idea for IKEA competitors ;)

Yea there was definitely some misplaced anger anything could've caused that fight but at least op knows now rather than later and can start to move on hopefully

Sounds like she was looking for a reason to say it (an out): Unfortunately it was over something small and meaningless.

Ikea may have a warranty for that.

The Swedish pancake syrup they sell there costs way more than $2.

I believe this is not the first time you two have argued. She might have said what she said in anger just to piss you off. Or, she's just sick and tired of you. If one or both of you can't learn to shut up sometimes or when to retreat, then your marriage is doomed. I wouldn't want to stay in a verbal/psychological abusive relationship anyway. I wish you two the best though.
