Hey everyone,
So, today was my wife's Birthday. A few weeks ago, I had tried to come up with something fun to do, take Monday off and go visit some of her friends in another city, or take a short vacation. She declined these ideas and said it was futile because it was either too expensive or wouldn't be worth it since it's freezing cold everywhere we could go for a short getaway.
So we decided to Work on Monday...
Despite that, I still wanted to do something special for her Birthday weekend. I bought her a G-Shock watch for her a week ago, because I know she loves to collect watches and I found a blue one, which she pointed out @ Macy's and said she liked.
Basically, the weekend we had looked like this..
-Ran some errands
-Had lunch at Chilli's (kinda thought it was like her B-day dinner)
-Went out and bought a Garmin Gps/workout watch that she preferred over the new Fitbits
When we got home, she called her parents (who are in the Philippines) and I gave her the G-Shock. She said she loved it, but was thinking about returning it and keeping the Garmin..
The next day we went to her Church, and before going I cleaned off her car and made a her a "snow cake" from the snow on the trunk of her car. I actually lit candles thinking she would like it consider it sweet.
Lastly, we went out for a nice dinner with my parents at a Sushi restaurant and some delicious food.
So, Monday morning rolls around and she asks me if I signed up for any overtime today. I've been working a lot of Overtime lately to get extra cash and try and pay off student loans. So, I had, because I figured we would celebrate her B-day on the weekend. She said she wished I hadn't. I did try to talk to my boss about it, but it was simply too busy to leave early.
Anyways, as I was heading home she texted me this.
"If we're not going to go out tonight, can you least pick me up some hamburger to cook?"
I responded "Did you want to go out and eat tonight?"
On my way home, I stopped into Kroger and got some Ground beef and a few pieces of her favorite cake from the bakery.
When I got, I Asked her where she wanted to out and eat. She said "Idk" and said she might just go over to friend's house and have a dinner with her. I told her I didn't mind going out to eat, but I just wasn't expecting it since we did a lot already on the weekend. She said it was her tradition in her family to always go out on her B-day. I kept offering to take her out, but she was basically upset because I hadn't planned a dinner in advance.
She also pointed out her text was a pretty obvious hint and I should have just called her and said "Hey, I'm coming now, let's go to X place to eat".
She decided to make herself some Pancit Canton (basically filipino ramen) and tell me how I was selfish and insensitive and how her friends at work took her and out, and anyone she knew would gladly take her out for a dinner. She also told me they said something to the effect of
"I hope your Husband has nice dinner plans" to which she responded "Are you kidding me" and then disappointingly remarked that she was hoping I wouldn't disappoint her, but, of course I did.
