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.. ;-)

AA is free. Divorce costs. Sometimes the best things in life aren't free

what a pathetic being. Why would you bother with a woman like that, if my girlfriend even started to have fights over things i didn't see as important i'd break up with her.

What if it happens to be something that's very important to her? I mean, yeah, if she does it over everything, then you have a good point. But what if there's one thing she thinks is really important but you don't?

Yeah, the one thing that hasn't been addressed by any comment is the chance that the bottle had some sentimental value for her, like it was given to her by a friend who has died, or was meant to be kept to be drunk on a particular anniversary of something or other. Look at it another way, I'm sure someone's childhood teddy bear isn't worth much, but everyone on here would understand someone flipping out if a partner threw that out.

1. Apologize. she feels like you hurt her for some reason...wrong or right you should apologize. 2. Make damn sure that she isn't screaming and hollering about a broad scale issue that this falls into. 3. Get a pregnancy test for her. the first month or two SUCK like this. 4. Don't be an asshole and put your private life on FML. Oh wait...better be apologizing for that too. secrets aren't right in a marriage.

yeah, or maybe you're an alcoholic, op, or even just selfish, and took the bottle she had probably bought just for her and hid from you, then got upset because it's happened dozens of times.

Ha, yeah, no kidding... I'm sure there's plenty more to the greater story. Often, the "crazier" women are painted in such stories, the crazier someone has DRIVEN them... Was it really and truly just about one bottle of cheap wine one time?

drink the wine then since it's special occasion. divorce is special rite?

That's really not cool to say...You may think that little joke is funny, but divorce is a serious thing and you've most likely just given the OP a reason to be exceedingly worried over nothing. Grow up and learn not to make insensitive jokes you ass.

Your wife has deeper psychological trauma than you may realize or a possible bipolar personality that will manifest itself as she gets older.

Stupid Americans could spot a good bottle of wine if I hit them over the head with it! I can't imagine what a $7 bottle would taste like...why would you waste $7?!!
