Today, I found out why my wife has been upset with me for the last week. She told me this morning that I did something to upset her on our date night last Friday, she won't tell me what, and she said she'll leave me if I do it again. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that my wife has been having an affair with the guy who's been trying to get our relationship back on track. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend if maybe she wanted to actually leave the house for date night. All I got was, “Why? We have takeaway menus.” When I insisted we leave the house for once, she got suspicious, like I was trying to hide something bad. She’s not talking to me until I admit what I did. FML
Today, once again, my partner is screaming at me for something that I have done and, as usual, she won't tell what it was, only that, "You know what you did," and, as usual, I have no idea. FML
Today, my wife is upset at me for having to remind her of her responsibilities. She dropped the ball several times in the past, and she hates that I remind her to prepare for upcoming deadlines. FML
Today, I was really excited to go on a date with my girlfriend. We were sat in the restaurant looking at our menus when she suddenly frowned and said someone was watching us from across the street. I turned to see who it was. My wife. FML
Today, our kids left for the weekend so that my wife and I could have some much-needed alone time. We've been fighting a lot recently and really need some time to have fun together. Now it turns out that she doesn't want to be around me because of the fighting. FML
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 girlfriend and I had an argument. She admitted she didn't know why she was pissed at me, but still is, and now she won't talk to me. FML
Today, my wife is leaving me for the guy she told me not to worry about, who is also her ex. FML
Today, I had to comfort my wife after she found out that her boyfriend wasn't faithful to her. FML

There aren't very many things you can to to earn a week of anger and a threat like that - and they'd all be super obvious. At this point, her behaviour is a bigger issue than anything you might have done. A week of anger is way too angry. Claiming that it's worth leaving you over, but not worth actually telling you what it is, is just messed up? That's a pretty abusive way to treat someone.

If she can leave you for a reason she doesn't even want to explain, maybe she simply doesn't love you anymore, or not enough for her to care... Or she's simply trying to find a reason to leave you, and either way, she's acting like a child, sorry for you man.

If she refuses to be open with you to fix problems in your relationship, it's probably best if it ends now, particularly if she threatens to leave you over something you can't know.

Take her to the same restaurant and do everything you did again. You'll find out what it was in divorce court.

Call her bluff, threaten to leave yourself unless she grows up and explains. You have ample grounds to anyway.

Maybe OPs wife told him what's wrong with his behaviour over and over again and he totally ignored it or didn't take it seriously. It's funny how most of the commenters here are fast to scream "Communicate!!!!" but never even consider that people sometimes tend to ignore stuff that's been said to them.

Maybe, but she could have said something like, "Once again, you did X, even though I've told you that it upsets me" instead of playing guessing games with her husband. If he does do this a lot, and she has told him before, she can say that.

"Guess it mustn't of been important then?" I would've said that

I'm speaking from experience, do NOT underestimate the seriousness of this warning-sign. You are not in trouble, your relationship is in trouble: one partner is oblivious to pushing the other partner's buttons, and one is willing to fester and stew for a week instead of resolving the issue at hand. Get on your knees, don't beg for forgiveness, beg for counseling or intervention if you want your marriage to survive.

Sometimes we need to get over our pride. He better figure out if she is worth it first.

It's not pride that makes begging bad, it's the fact that it ***** up the distribution of power in a relationship.

One of you is a gigantic asshole. Just not sure who yet. You didn't assault her or something, right? Continue to have sex when she told you to stop? That would make you the asshole, x10. Otherwise, I can't think of any reason she wouldn't be an immature asshole for acting like you say.

maybe her period is coming up?

I'm no psychologist, but this sounds like some seriously manipulative behavior. Threatening to leave you over something but refusing to tell you what it is? That is neither acceptable nor mature. I don't want to worry you, but it sounds like she's either messing with you or looking for an excuse to leave. In either case, you may either need to reach out to someone who can help (like an actual therapist, or a family member of hers who may be able to get her to talk about it,) or just move on. Best of luck, OP.

So It happened on your date, out where there is other people. Think hard, perhaps you looked at some other women, or was overly chatty to the waitress which your wife presumed to be flirtatious. Did you drink too much? Associate with other people which may have left her feeling ignored. By arguing that you are unaware of what you did, (even if you didn't), is no defense and only compounds the problem as far as your wife is concerned. Perhaps try and seek information from one of her friends if you can trust them. Threatening to leave may just be trying to obtain bargaining power over you.
