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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my wife screamed and threatened to leave me… again. She does this about once a year, in response to an argument that she feels frustrated by. We have three amazing children and we're mostly happy in between these outbursts. Today she did it in front of our 6 year-old, who is now crying about our family. 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, I was listening to some music with my wife, and I mentioned that the song that was playing changed my mind about breaking up after an argument from years ago. For some reason, she got insanely pissed, threw a suitcase at me, and told me to pack and go. FML
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 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 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
Today, I found out that my wife, who is supposed to be a recovering alcoholic, drank an entire bottle of wine and then tried to hide it at the bottom of a garbage bin. To make matters worse, when I confronted her about it, she tried to convince me that our 5-year-old daughter had drunk it. FML
Today, trying to impress my in-laws, I put a lot of effort into selecting a nice bottle of wine for dinner at their house. When I got there, I gave the bottle to my wife's mother. Later, my father-in-law emerges from the kitchen to berate his wife over her poor choice of wine. It was mine. 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

Perhaps she was emotional and this was just the "straw that broke the camels back." Maybe She's been holding some serious anger issues inside for a long time.. like you always leave the toilet seat up and your clothes never make it into the hamper and you're just not the man she thought she married.. so Like any rational women upset and miserable with her life she takes it on you when you least suspect it.. you know like over a cheap bottle of wine.. ;-)

Are you having financial difficulties or does she have a problem with you drinking it? Maybe next time you should ask her before opening a bottle she bought, or just buy her a replacement bottle. Or get counselling on how some things don't require epic arguments like the one you described, and it's possible to deal with them in a more calm and mature manner.

I'm pretty sure she did not have the meltdown over the bottle of wine itself but I think that the wine was just a trigger to her all stored up distresses (that might have been caused by her husband).

I think the husband is the psychotic one

Rustic, it's entirely possible that she stored up a lot of pent up frustration, however that is a big assumption. From the information we're given she got upset because he drank the wine. Now it could have been speficially about the wine, however it could have been a trigger like you suggest. However if the latter is the case then the two of them need help in getting their problems out there in the open to be sorted out.

Wow. the girl in the red is so logical it's making me re-learn logic. thank you for being so rational. you are a blessing among females (that have commented on here, no need to get upset). yes. from what we're given, it's not possible to draw up any other assumptions. you must be studying law?

Thanks, I think. But sorry, I study Chemistry. (Assuming you mean me, being the only one wearing red in their picture on this thread)

It takes 2 people to make an argument, especially one that big. Don't you wonder why Op kept fighting with his wife over something he considers so trivial?

maybe she just kept quiet all the time and put up with your faults but couldn't anymore? so she had to let everything out in one blow?? it happens Op. just think back on little things you might have done that could have upsetted her up to now? or do you by any chance take things for granted and she's sick of it? could be number of reasons and ofcourse she could also be in the wrong.

I would put a witty and sarcastic comment here, but I feel like only wine-ing and grape-ing about this FML. Oh, and I am also unoriginal.

Correct.

Sounds like there is a deeper issue here. Good luck finding out what she was REALLY upset about!

You shouldn't have argued back. You could've just said, '' bitch chill the **** down, I'll get you another one." THIS problem would've been solved.

if he hadn't argued back it wouldn't have been an argument it would have just been her yelling at him...
habeeboburky94 0
yeah she'd yell at him for a while then she'd just shut up. This whole thing wouldn't have been blown so out of proportion. I mean I'm pretty sure he knows his wife has a tendency to overreact, him arguing back is just adding fuel to that.
catatonicsleep 17
yeah, downside to that is some people take "i don't want to argue with you so i'm keeping quiet" to mean "i don't care about this thing that is obviously important to you for some reason" and then they start yelling about the not caring too :D
