Today, I surprised my wife with a spa day during our mini vacation with the kids. I booked her a facial and mani/pedi at the resort, figuring I would take the kids while she relaxed. Her reaction? "I hate the spa. Why would you waste that money? I'm not going." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I woke up to a note from my wife, saying that since I spent Father's Day golfing, she booked herself a spa day, so I could take care of our 4 kids and the house like she does every day. She ignored every single one of my calls and didn't even tell me what spa she went to. What mother does that to her family? FML
Today, I sent my wife to a 5 hour spa day. She's now upset because she had to wait to get a pedicure, and the house wasn’t clean when she got home. We have a toddler and I was playing with her, running errands, and cooking us a family dinner. She's a stay at home mom. FML
Today, I surprised my wife with some new lingerie for our upcoming anniversary, thinking she would like it. Instead of a thank you, I got an ungrateful attitude from her instead. FML
Today, I bought my mom a gift certificate for a spa treatment for two so we could spend some quality time together. She took my sister. FML
Today, after months of asking my massage therapist boyfriend to work on me, and him always saying he’s too tired to do so, I called my local spa to make an appointment. He then screamed at me for wasting money and for going to the competition when he could just do the job himself. I'm confused too. FML
Today, I sent the kids to my parents' house, tidied the house, and made reservations for a fancy restaurant, hoping to surprise my wife. When she got home and I handed her flowers, she sighed and said, "Can you stop with the stupid romance shit? It's embarrassing. We're six years married, not two moonstruck kids." FML
Today, my wife asked me what I wanted for my upcoming birthday. Mindful of our budget, I said I just wanted to relax at home all day and then get a nice dinner with her. She blew up and yelled that I'm "using my birthday to be a lazy slug." FML
Today, I was looking over reservations for an upcoming work trip, and saw that my work would cover the "romance package" at a nice hotel. I laughed. My coworkers laughed. When I told my wife, not only did she not laugh, she burst into tears and screamed, "I knew you were cheating!" FML
Today, my wife is refusing to go on our honeymoon because the resort we chose won’t allow pets. She’s now angry with me for not checking before we booked the place, and is threatening divorce if I go without her. I told her we could just get a dog sitter, but she refuses. Oh well. FML
Today, two days into our honeymoon, my mother-in-law turned up at our Spa hotel and pretended it was a huge coincidence. We are an 8-hour flight away, yet she tried to claim she had a Spa coupon about to expire, from another country. Nice try Linda you nosy, interfering bitch. FML

It does suck that she rejected your sweet gesture. But coming from a woman's point of view.. It kind of hurts when the man who is supposed to love you doesn't have a fine tune to your likes and dislikes. If my boyfriend spent a lot of money on me but it was something that was completely out of my character, sure I would thank him for the gesture but I would also be pretty upset that he was so wrong about me/my interests.

It does suck that she happens to not like it, but I don't blame her for her response. You're married to her, and you never asked her how she feels about spa days before you bought her one? Some people find them immensely boring and useless and really wouldn't want to go to one. Some people don't like having manicures or pedicures or facials. I wouldn't like it either if my husband paid for something costly for me that I really don't like. It's a waste of good money.

I'm a woman and I hate spas as well. It's just strangers rubbing their hands over my body and face, I don't get what part of it should be relaxing. I get that you meant well, and it sucks when a surprise is turning out to be a huge disappointment instead, for both of you in that case. I mean, hopefully she appreciated the gesture at least, but next time just sit her down and tell her you want to do that for her, so what would she like? Tbh, sometimes mothers just want you to take the kids and leave and let her have silence for a couple of hours. Have a nap, watch TV, snack on something she doesn't have to share, turning off her cellphone for once instead of going to the next appointment to make smalltalk and engage with other people.

While her reaction does suck, you would think you'd know your wife well enough to know she'd hate that sort of thing.
