Only thing, she doesn't care for flowers so don't suggest that.

TIA.

Tell her to give you a BJ for pissing you off and not apologizing before you went to bed...

That's rich. She's got you begging forgiveness, when she was the one who initiated the whole thing. Nice.

Try her favorite restaurant or making dinner.

Only women can pull that crap off. You were mad at her so now she is mad at you? What are you guys? Five year olds?

::sigh:: I know that feeling. My wife and I have done that before and it always sucks going to bed mad. If you don't mind my asking, what was the fight about? Was it a big fight or just an argument about something minor?

Thinking of suggestions in the meantime...

No kidding man.. She's mad because I was mad at her for being silly. I go to sleep and try to forget about it and now she's the one that's more sad than PO'd.

Something minor. I was telling her I was going to go back to school in the Fall because she's not going to go to work full time like we agreed after her Maternity leave was up. Instead she decides that she can only work part time. So I tell her that I will have classes M-Th from 6-9 p.m. which is directly after work. She didn't look too thrilled at the idea of watching kids by herself for basically the whole day so I thought about it. The I told her later maybe I won't go back to school now and just wait till next year or so. Then she get's mad because she thinks I'm making her feel guilty. So I told her stop acting stupid and just walked away when she started yelling. Stupid huh? I was so close to snappin at her but didn't want to because the kids were asleep and didn't want to scare them which is why i walked away. I came back about an hour later (I was just downstairs surfin the net) and went straight to bed, ignoring her.

Stupid huh?

Heh. I know how that goes, but get used to being wrong most of the time, no matter what you're fighting about. ;)

Just sit down and talk to her about it. If you're the one who got mad at her for being silly in the first place, I don't see any point in doing her a favor to apologize for being mad.

I already called her at home and told her I was sorry. Maybe I can get someone to watch the kids tonight so we can go out and spend a little QT. Very rare that happens since we had the new kid. But hopefully we can even go out for a drink at like a Starbucks or something. She can't go to the bar with me because she's still nursing the newborn.

Ahhhh....I see where you're at now. My wife and I have had those fights where you both go to bed mad and ignore each other until the next day. We always make up and apologize though. I would just sit down with her and talk it out in a reasonable manner without arguing over who's fault it was that you were fighting in the first place. Just try to agree on a good solution as far as the situation you mentioned above (you going to school, her working, etc.) is concerned.

Good luck!

yeah, when i called her i didn't call her to get mad. i called to see how she was doing before she went to work and asked how the kids were. i even said sorry for going to bed mad. it's harder to do that sometimes if you knwo what i mean.

Just ask her what she wants to happen - you go back to school or not. Put the ball in her court, and let her make the decision.

Then have make-up sex.:D

That's probably why you aren't married to her anymore.

I'm going to go back regardless now if she's not going to work full-time like we agreed. I know it's hard for her if she was going to work full-time but shoot, i might as well take advantage of it and further my education so I could move up further in my job.

I'm not too worried about it which is why even though I'm the one who's really pissed, I'm gonna try and do something nice for her. I learned this stuff from my parents. My dad was a jerk to my mom, so she left his a$$. Now, I try to be a better father/husband to my family after learning all this stuff.

Yeah, I think you're right here. You gotta plan ahead with your family in mind. Good luck with whatever you decide to do, and I hope your wife can handle it as well.

By bending over and taking it because someone can't get a grip on reality? Ok, I'll change my suggestion:
Tell her to get a grip and deal. And then hug her. :p
