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

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.. ;-)

fyl for such a pointless arguement but you also deserve it for continuing the arguement and not slowing your roll to just flippen compromise for the sake of everyones sanity. it takes two to argue and im sure theres more there than a bottle of wine

It was $7!!! And if it was really THAT important, she should have said not to use it or hid it or left a note or SOMETHING so that you knew.

YDI if you believe that it's about a bottle of wine, you got much bigger problems to worry about. If you want to save your relationship get some therapy!

Definitely wasn't about the wine bottle.

I doubt this is as simple and upfront as it seems. Did the bottle have actual sentimental value for her? Does she have to drive to a specific location to get it? perhaps she told you all this and she's upset you forgot/ignored her wishes. Whatever the case, it's not just about a bottle of wine and saying she's overreacting is jumping to conclusions. For all we know, that $7 bottle was the last gift from her dead mother.

You actually bothered to argue about a seven dollar bottle of wine? YDI. Completely. If she was saving it for something, why didn't you respect her wishes? Way to go, asshole.

Well obv there is more to this FML than you're suggesting. I think it isn't the price of the wine that is the main issue here. She could have brought it 20 years ago for $7 which would make it special. Or it could have been a gift from someone who has died. Or a special kind of wine you can only buy in a certain country. Anyway, you need to sort this out OP..

just cuz it started over the bottle of wine doesn't mean that's how it ended up so really how can you say she overreacted not to mention you don't know what was said on his part.
