So her first week of school was this week and I can tell she has had a rough go of it. So be the loving husband I am I saw a concert was coming to town of a band I really like. So I decided to obit tickets day of and set it up as a little surprise date night. I left work early went to get her a new outfit from boot barn that she could wear and waited for her to get home from work. I’m super stoked to give her the news and she seems to be some what thrilled show her the outfit I got her and turns out she doesn’t like it so she asked if she can wear something else, which I mean I was a little bummed that dressed cost a good amount of money and I really thought she would like it but okay it’s fine, whatever. We continue to get ready kiss the kiddos good bye and head to go eat. Dinner was eh, got into this weird discussion about how things have been going in the relationship as of late and kinda put the whole mood in a funk. We get done eating then head to the concert, after about 45 mins of being there she is just off the vibe that she doesn’t wanna be there so I throw out the option that she can head home and go bed if she really wants and turns out she takes me up on that offer. Now at first I’m like oh well no big deal, I really like this band and the last time I got tickets to go see them something similar happen to where we missed them, so I really wanted to see them this time around. So she ends up leaving and I end up staying, at first it’s not to bad but as the night goes on and I see all these couples it kinda starts to upset because I see they are having a great time and I’m there solo, no partner in crime, just alone. It really just kinda gets me upset/sad because I was really excited to be able to do something with my wife and it turns out the whole thing just kinda fell apart. Fast forward to the end of the night I made some new friends and got the singer to sign my hat which made my night. My main issue is that I feel my wife doesn’t seem to make time for me so trying to do stuff like this where it’s just me and her I really enjoy, But am I the asshole for giving my wife a way of the date and then getting mad that she took it?
