That is why I had trouble ignoring it. Sure, she might be able to wait, but I'm left wondering was it something about our serious discussions or was it something about our choice of dinner last night? Was it a marriage related topic? Or was it a joke I told that she doesn't like? I was just left hanging.
Most likely, I think it was a comment I made in passing about school. She attended an all girls private school, I attended a public school. Both of us are successes. I can show you studies that factor out family upbringing (income, race, parental caring, etc) that says private and public schools give the exact same results. Top students do well in both, low students do poorly in both, average students do average in both. Multiple studies are coming out now showing that. I mentioned in passing that single-gender schools have some advantages but they have significant drawbacks too. I THINK this is what it is about. Something minor as it doesn't affect us in any way, but something that she really wants to defend.
I think she is under a mistaken circular argument. Top private schools get to be selective in their clients, the top rich students with parents who care can get in, thus it is full of only top students and get top scores, thus it is considered a top school, thus top students attend, etc. It isn't the school that made them successes (studies show these kids would do equally as well in other schools). They were successes because they were already bright students with parents who cared about a good education.
Of course, I could be wrong in that guess.
That is the way things go sometimes. I'd rather be blunt and let things out, bottleing things up doesn't help either of you. But I'm also quite easy going. I don't fight over anything that is minor. I'll gladly enter a debate, but keep things civil and not actually argue.
You can either ignore her and tell her you don't care if she's mad or not. I like this one.
Or
You can tell her you're ticked at her and that someday it will cause a fight. Don't tell her the reason for the future fight is her being mad and not telling you, but throw it in her face then.

Tell her to grow up and spill the beans, otherwise she should STFU cos it's obviously not worth discussing.

I don't have much of an update (that is, the update is too boring to bother posting). But I don't need to have a spider post either.
She said it wasn't anything and that she realized she overreacted. I still don't know what it was.
I told her that I dislike they type of approach. She said she will try not to do it again.
hahaha, i hate that crap. Been through that sh1t several times and i always tell my gf she is full of it when she does that. She keeps trying to force me to play her damn guessing game (which I refuse causing her to get more angry).
After the 3rd time of this "guess why I am angry with you" games (which I "lost" all 3 times), I sat her down and told her that I wasn't gonna stand for any more BS. No more guessing games, no loaded questions. On the occasion it comes up, I just tell her "Thats a loaded question, or I'm not playing your guessing game" and it gets stomped out before an arguement can ensue.
So far, haven't had any problems, then again, I got her addicted to WoW, but thats a different story.
