How to go home to wife without looking pathetic?

Question

My wife and I had a bad argument which started out after lunch in an out of town restaurant... we argued all the way on the drive back home; it got nastier and nastier (we argue a bit like 12 -13 year old kids sometimes) and then I stopped the car and told her to get the **** out of my car and that I would be spending the weekend alone to give each other some time. She 'reminded' me that it was her car we were in (we have identical cars with only a difference in one digit on the registration plate)... So I had to be the one to get the **** out of the car and she took over comandeering the car ... To my horror, as I watch her drive away, I clearly saw the license plate; the numbers really indicate that it really is MY CAR and I have a habbit (which I forgot at that moment) of putting my keys, handkerchief, cellphone, wallet (cash, credit cards, ID etc ), cigarettes and lighter, flask on the glove compartment which I always do before driving MY CAR!

I have no friends here in this area and I really have to go home tonight because I only have enough small change for this stupid internet cafe and iced tea here (I forgot that I forgot my wallet in my glove compartment)

So how do I go home to my wife tonight without looking tired, hungry, shaken and disoriented? I want to go home proud and dignified and still maintaining my composure. I want to make it look like I changed my mind; like as if I didn't want her to be alone at home at night...

What to say when I get home tonight? I don't want to be like a dog walking home with it's tail between it's legs...

I'm starting to have migraine right now and I really need to be home; I wouldn't last the night out but I don't want her to think that she has won when I come home tonight and she has the power to choose whether or not to let me in.

Answer 1

OK, this is what you do. Go home, stand in front of the door, turn both front pockets inside out and pull your thing out. When she answers the door say "your elephant has come home". Hopefully she will find this funny and let you in. Good Luck.

Answer 2

And you refer to yourself here in YA as "Brilliant Mind" ?? HILARIOUS!! Where was that brilliant mind when you got out of the car without your wallet?? Seems that your wife is the one with the brilliant mind! She convinced you it was HER car. Ha-ha-ha!!

Even with identical vehicles, there are things inside that "personalize" it, as in stuff tucked over the visor, a pen on the console, etc.

So you "...want to go home proud and dignified and still maintaining my composure....?? It THAT is your major concern, then apparently you don't want to be home bad enough! Your statement to HER was "...I would be spending the weekend alone to give each other some time" Wow!! You got what you asked for, but now it's a problem?? SUCK IT UP, WUSSY!

Call a cab. They let you pay at the END of the ride, which will put you in your driveway where YOUR card is and you can access your wallet.

If you're lucky, your HOUSE KEY will be in the glove compartment with your wallet. Otherwise, you get to sleep in the car!!

Answer 3

I agree with the others that your story is a little suspect for the reasons they stated, but if it was true, I would call home collect and have her pick you up. Get counseling-you're both way over the top, immature and odd with this dangerous get-out-of-the-car stuff. I don't see how you have jobs where you can afford matching cars, etc., but manage to maintain the disfunctional, immature personal relationship you have. Telling your wife to get out of the car in the middle of nowhere is abusive, and same goes for your wife's actions. I would say Good Luck, but you 2 are too far gone. No relationship is ever going to work for either of you. Shame on you. Serves you right, both of you.

Answer 4

You are very pathetic. I'm a fifteen year old kid and I can sleep outside. Go a few days without food. Not only are you too stuck up to "rough it" until you get home, you are also just shitty at relationships. I would never kick my girlfriend out of the car in some random *** town. That's a dick move.

Answer 5

My husband does this to me all the time, he storms off and then will make an excuse to come home, e.g To change so he could go out. During this time he will then make a comment about our argument (whilst changing of course coz remember he's meant to be going out) which always gets a nibble back giving him a chance to find a way to eventually twist the situation into him changing his mind and staying. I now know this is his tactic coz i now know him so well but it i didn't know at first(and now i just play along with it:) ) hope that helps. if nothing else it'll give you a chance to get your phone wallet and car. Good luck

Answer 6

the only place you'll get any from this little red head is the same place you've been gettin it, in your own mind, doubt if this is even a real post, cos who in their right mind would post all the info you have unless your settin someone up, and if no, then yer just a w*nk who deserves to lose everything, a hope ye get caught, but a doubt it';s even happenin, but have you thought about the damage that an STI could do if it can be spread through to your children?? then again, guess ars*holes like you dont care about that, IF IT'S EVEN A REAL POST AND NOT A SICK JOKE OR YOUR OWN IMAGINATION!! You dont deserve a family, or is it the only way for you to get woman to e-mail you so you can get them to PM you or you PM then, sad little man

Answer 7

Go home, im sure she misses you. Walk up to her put your hand on her somewhere and say "Can we sit down and talk?" Sit her down and say "I have been thinking and we really were acting like children last night, both of us. I missed you for the time I was gone and I want to apologize for everything I said. I love you and Im sorry if i hurt your feelings. I don't want this fight to go on any further, can we make up?" And see what she says.



And you really need to get out of the mind set of winning and losing in a fight. That will just fuel things even more, fights should have positive out comes, like you both learn something about the other one and move on. You will have conflicting views about things everyone does and it isn't about who is right or wrong its about voicing opinions.



Hope this helped :)

Answer 8

Dude you are not looking pathetic if you go home. It's your home too. I would tell her I missed her and I'm sorry. See what she says and how she acts. She's probably feeling bad about the whole thing too.



Stop putting all your things in your car - you will eventually get them stolen or something. Can't never tell when someone is going to steal your car and boy would they hit the jackpot.



Good luck friend.

Answer 9

Man, you ARE pathetic! Be honest, call her, tell her you are sorry about being a jerk (I hope you are sorry) and ask her nicely to PLEASE come and get you as you are stranded and without resources of any kind.



Promise SINCERELY to go to counseling as this kind of fighting is ridiculous and immature. Follow up with the counseling thing even if she declines to participate. She obviously has issues also, but don't point that out while you are groveling. Save it for counseling.

Answer 10

Just go home when you calm down. Take a taxi. Tell your wife that she was wrong about whose car it is but you forgive her. Act normal and go to bed. Argue later if you are still angry in the morning.



Good luck!

Answer 11

You told her to get the hell out and intended to leave her all alone all weekend with you in the car and house? You're a total moron and she deserves better. If my partner did that to me, I'd have changed the locks already.

Answer 12

Just call and tell her playing 12 year old has given you a migraine and you need picked up. Unless she hates you, she'll be there.

Answer 13

damn the bad luck dude....it looks like maybe you stuck your foot in your mouth this time clear up to you neck...she sounds just calculating enough to be a good friend of mine, this is one for the memory book. you have obviously been together a while just call her and suck it up shell come get you if you say im sorry....and i love you, i know im a sucker like that...its one of those things i cant seem to cure.

Answer 14

Suck it up and be a man. Go home. Take your medicine and get on with it.

Answer 15

yet you remebered to take your lap top with you ad your mobile internet connection



sounds strange

Answer 16

In my perspective.. go home because your a jerk.

Answer 17

Haha the joke is on you now.
